Susan Brown contemporary paintings are bold and striking . She works predominantly using watercolour and acrylic. Much of Susan's work features European cities. She has focused on man-made structure and city life and man's relationship with his environment. These architectural studies explore the rhythm and movement within buildings and interiors. However Susan Brown is not limited to architectural studies, she also creates beautiful abstract paintings which are inspired by still life subjects and landscapes, focusing on texture and pattern.

Susan's latest works looks to the source of the inspiration that lies behind man-made structures - to the formulas and patterns found in the natural world, the cycle of growth and decay, the very structure of life and the continuum of the life cycle. Talking about her paintings Susan says:'I look at a field, it's content and it's changing form over the seasons. I look at the connection, the structure that links the air and the earth and the power of the everyday'
