Meet the maker Sue Smith

Although born in North Devon I have lived and worked in various countries, particularly the Middle East and Mediterranean. I have a keen interest in the environment, nature and the landscape around me and have been both influenced and inspired by the different cultures and architecture from my travels.
This energy is directed into my work, providing me with the possibility of creating unique and individual pieces, whilst helping to preserve the natural beauty that surrounds us.
My mosaics are designed for use in the garden, using water resistant flexible glues and grouts, working the recycled stained glass directly onto the mirrors to give better reflection and depth of colour, making the glass change shade in different lights and at different angles. They can be used as wall panels – as a feature among climbing plants or be placed in a gloomy corner – adding light, interest and creating a hint of “The Secret Garden” behind.
