"... In an age of instant digital images, it is easy to see why some might think of portrait-painting as an anachronism.  However, the interpretation an artist makes of his or her subject, never mind the technical quality of the portraiture, is unique and can bring out the character of a subject and his place far more profoundly than more modern means can hope to do."

Simon Heffer on being painted by Susannah Fiennes,
The Daily Mail, London, 3 May 2001

 

    
 

 

Susannah Fiennes was born and educated in England but has travelled extensively and for five years between 1999 and 2004 had a studio and lived in New York.  She graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art, London, in 1983  with a BA Hons degree (1st Class).  Since then, Susannah has shown her work widely in both group and solo exhibits.   As well as the National Portrait Gallery, London, The House of Commons, Westminster and Barings Bank, London, her work is included in the collection of HRH the Prince of Wales, whom she accompanied as tour artist on his official foreign visits in 1995, 1997 and 1999.

Susannah undertakes commissions for portraits in pencil, charcoal, oil or watercolour.  As she prefers to work directly from the sitter without the use of photographs, sitting times can vary from one 2-hour session for a drawing to ten 2-hour sessions for an oil painting.  She will travel to a client's choice of location anywhere in the world for sittings. 

Today Susannah has studios in Ireland and South Wales, has a home in London and continues to travel to America frequently.
