Susan Respinger

Biography: Susan Respinger is a Perth based artist with a focus on portrait, murals and sign writing. In her portrait work, Susan often begins by drawing realistic characters and then embellishes them with her own creative designs. This contrast adds life, vitality and colour to her black and white portrait style. Susan loves the large wall space provided in the creation of murals and enjoys the open freedom to express her creativity. Her grandfather, Howard Benbrook, was a sign writer and she enjoys creating commercial art that incorporates aspects of signwriting that make her feel closer to him.
