Susan Hey lives in the ACT on Ngunnawal Land. She is best known for her encaustic paintings and intricate netlike installations that evoke the movement of dappled light. Susan’s work reflects a sustained engagement with materiality, nature, and contemplative processes. Her artistic inquiry centres on the rhythms and structures of the natural world, particularly trees and water, as well as themes of inner contemplation, mindfulness, and psychological landscapes. Across painting, textiles, and expanded media, Susan constructs immersive visual environments that invite slow looking and embodied reflection. Significant projects include explorations of ecological connectivity, meditative states, and the subtle interplay between inner and outer worlds, forming a body of work that integrates artistic practice with my training and experience in art therapy.
