Creative lockdown: Susan Alison

By Lowie Trevena  Tuesday Mar 31, 2020

Susan Alison is part of the ongoing Bristol24/7 Creative Lockdown series, showcasing how people in Bristol have been getting arty under lockdown.

Susan Alison is a full-time writer and artist living in north Bristol. Ordinarily, she writes romantic comedy and urban fantasies, runs creative classes and sells prints, greeting cards and coasters on Etsy.

However, the creative is focusing on watercolour paintings of cats and dogs during the coronavirus pandemic.
