Sue Pickering is an artist, designer and maker. After choosing the 'sensible option' of a career as a cognitive psychologist, she worked as a university lecturer and researcher, until the time came when she could finally pursue her interest in art and design. She studied for a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at Bristol School of Art, passing the course with distinction in 2010.

Since then, she has been working on her own mixed-media art practice. Her work aims to capture the beauty and complexity of our everyday experiences. Sue shares her passion for art, craft and design community in Bristol on her website Creative Bristol.
