An exhibition inspired by the writings of John Ruskin, reflecting his deep passion for mountains and landscape painting, a fascination shared by Susie.Through her inventive mountain abstractions, she seeks to evoke the sensation of mountainous landscapes: a strangeness that hints at the sublime, and an impression that gestures toward the infinity of things.Susie Leiper paints and writes on everything from vast walls and canvases to small pieces of wood and artist books.

A keen hillwalker, Susie came to painting through a fascination with Chinese landscape art where the emphasis is strongly on the mountain.

She is also known as a calligrapher and lettering artist, sometimes combining text and paint, sometimes separating the two.

Navigating between the monumental and the miniscule.
