Preview: Streets, Lanes and Skylines
Painter Susie Ramsay began exhibiting and selling her artworks after returning to Bristol in 2012. She specialises in landscapes and city scenes using a range of media, dependent on the subject matter or the requirements of the artwork. Her work ranges from large-scale oil paintings to much smaller pen and ink drawings.
Her new exhibition Streets, Lanes and Skylines at Bedminster’s Grant Bradley Gallery presents a series of new pen and watercolour paintings of Bristol’s old city and harbourside. Drawn to the city’s hidden streets and architecture contrasting against the sky, Susie travels around by bike, on foot and by water, capturing new perspectives of the city in sketch form which she then works up as full paintings in her studio.
Susie, who will also be showing her Bristol Winter, Spring and Summer series in pen, watercolour and acrylic for the first time, sells her artwork through Grant Bradley and fellow Bristol galleries Room 212 and Jenny Life Gallery, as well as at Aslan Christian Books and the Bristol Harbourside Market on the first and third Sunday of each month.
