Suzy Johnson was born in Cornwall and, after a spell in Surrey, returned to her roots in Charlestown in 2016. She has a particular interest in geo-mythology, and through her work hopes to engage with issues of re-mapping the past through encounters with landscapes, ancient maps and oral traditions. In her painting she seeks to explore the concept of the female as sacred within the landscape.

Suzy Johnson became a member of 'Taking Space', a group of women artists, in 2017.
