Susan Edwards

Sue Edwards with Rock Pool

Susan Edwards is a painter and printmaker working from her studio near Cowbridge. As well as being a member of Voga she belongs to the Cardiff Print workshop group based at the Howardian Centre.

The work in this exhibition has developed from studies made of shapes in rocks caused by constant erosion by the sea and the weather over thousands of years. The shore is always changing; every day it is different. Sand, pebbles and rocks are moved around with each tide. The rocks and strata vary both in colour and shape all around our coastline, even within a short distance.

There is one oil painting and one etching, together with some preparatory work, on show. These are the result of visits to Ogmore-by-Sea. which is a fascinating area to study both geologically and as a source of inspiration for an artist.
