Sussie Leila Moran is a visual artist from Cornwall. Heavily influenced by the landscape and light where she grew up, Sussie’s work explores the connection between memory, time, and the impressionable forms of the natural environment.

Sussie is primarily concerned with capturing and depicting light in her paintings. The Cornish coast is famed for the lucidity of its direct, diffused and reflected light. Just as this light is central to the experience of the Cornish landscape, captured light is central to the viewing experience of Sussie’s work. She connects the viewer to the work through the use of light, with the abstract landscape forms being secondary to the viewing experience.

Sussie’s work is primarily memory-based, using light, colour and form to recreate a feeling or sensation originally created by the natural environment.

Sussie’s formative years were spent growing up in Cornwall, followed by time in Warwick and Oxford studying for her undergraduate and master’s degrees in History of Art and Visual Culture. After a period of time living in New York City, she now splits her time between Cornwall and London.
