| Artist: Susan Crawford |
Profile: Equestrian
and portrait artist, Susan Crawford, was born in the Scottish
district of East Lothian. Her father was a racehorse trainer
and she grew up on the family farm, inheriting her parent's
affinity with horses and the countryside and learning to ride
when she was only a toddler.
She spent two years at the Florentine drawing school of Signorini
Nera Simi but is an entirely self-taught painter, using a classical
old master technique of applying oil in thin glazes. Her main
inspiration has come from the works of the very classical horse
painters George Stubbs and Sir Alfred Munnings.
Susan Crawford has exhibited at a number of distinguished galleries
throughout the world, including The National Portrait Gallery,
The Royal Academy of Arts, The Tryon Gallery, London and The
National Gallery of Pahang Pinang, Malaysia. Her most recent
one-man show was in 1980 and her next one will be in 2001.
Amongst her many fine works, Susan Crawford has painted twenty-one
Epsom Derby winners and steeple-chasers such as the all time
favourites, Red Rum, Arkle and Desert Orchid. However, despite
her high profile as a painter of horses, she is also a well-established
portrait artist. She has painted five members of the British
Royal family, including HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother,
HM The Queen and HRH The Prince of Wales, as well as HH The
Sultan of Brunei and HM The Sultan of Oman.
Susan Crawford lived for a time in the Middle East but has now
returned to southern England, where she paints and indulges
in her favourite pastimes: horse-racing; dogs; birds; and shopping
for antiques.
