With over 25 years of arts experience across music, theatre and visual arts, Susan brings a passion for the creative sector and a wealth of expertise to Regional Arts WA.
Susan started her arts career as a visual artist, then ventured into arts management. She has delved into event and project management, theatre and music tour coordination, festival project/workshops and stage management for theatre and festivals (Perth Theatre Company, Deckchair Theatre, Womadelaide).
After a long and winding road, Susan eventually discovered her true love in the creative world of contemporary music. For the past 15 years Susan’s focus has been all things music as a songwriter, performer, music manager, music lecturer and regional music advocate (first ever regional board member for the WA Music Industry (WAM).
Susan spent 12 years living and working in regional WA and continues to be a passionate advocate for artists and arts organisations whenever the opportunity arises.
