Staithes Festival Artists Beginning with I

Susan Isaac

As a painter & sculptor, the common thread in my work is an endeavour to capture the spirit of things or places I have known, to seek to illuminate aspects of the world that have captured my imagination – to evoke feeling. Cardiff born and now based in Nottinghamshire, my work has won several Awards, including the Attenborough Prize (2024/22), Paint Out Norfolk (2022/20), and the Thoresby Open (2017/15/11). I also appeared on Sky TV’s ‘Landscape Artist of the Year’ – as a wild card winner in 2021, shortlisted ‘pod’ contestant in 2022, and Finalist in the 10th series in 2025.
