About
Susannah Collins is a multidisciplinary artist based in Wurundjeri Country, Victoria. Her creative practice explores the fusion of painting, embroidery, and sculpture. Influenced by traditional techniques of Northern European still life painting, she crafts small, intimate works that seek the intersection between the familiar and the extraordinary. Her art delves into nostalgia and curiosity by blending three-dimensional and two-dimensional forms, exploring the interplay between representation and imagination. She is currently pursuing a Master's in Fine Art from RMIT University.
