Susan Crookes

Susan Crookes lives with her partner artist Paul Lacey in Milang, South Australia with their greyhound Jackson and rescued parrots.

Her work can be found in private, corporate & public collections (The Silk Cut Foundation, National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia) and has been included in several national touring exhibitions, awards & publications. 

“The art that influences & interests me most, perhaps partly due to my background in printmaking is simple, honest and direct with strong design elements-realism doesn’t interest me at all. Outsider, Folk & Naive Art, cartoons & comic-books are what inspires me and continue to sustain my interest. An enduring interest and fascination with animals, their eccentricities and comical personalties, have also been a continuing thread throughout my practice, whether printmaking, sculpture or painting.”
