Susan Nethercote

Susan Nethercote is an abstract floral and botanical painter living in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia with her husband and two little girls. She paints in acrylics and mixed media and is deeply inspired by nature and the gardens she encounters both in her local neighborhood and on her overseas adventures. Susan’s work is a colorful, contemporary, expressionistic take on the long tradition of Botanical art. Her work aims to capture the exquisite feeling of being amongst flowers rather than document nature. “I see my painting practice as the way in which I commune with the beauty of the world and the soul of nature”. Susan’s work is held in private collections across four continents. She licenses her work to magazines, lifestyle, fashion, and décor brands globally. Susan teaches her unique approach to painting in online classes and has hosted art retreats in exotic locations such as the French Riviera.
