Susan Derges has established an international reputation over the past 15 years with one-person exhibitions in London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo.

Susan’s art is an ongoing enquiry into the relationship of the self to the observed that has generated images that combine aesthetic beauty with thought provoking content.
