Suzie Blackcat

I'm an artist and maker. I paint portraits on wood and canvas, and design and make colourful and quirky jewellery and gifts.

I like to re-imagine and reuse materials whenever I can, especially wood, broken costume jewellery and vintage fabrics. It's always good to create something new and interesting from something old and worn.

I love working from my own imagination but it's always very exciting to fulfil commissions. I paint animal, human and house portraits by commission and create bespoke jewellery pieces. I can create a piece based on a loose, abstract description from a client or from a detailed and specific brief. My recent works include: A wooden wall plaque for The Maggie Fleming Animal Hospice (paid for by volunteers); A photo prop for Sunshine Stamping; A mirror created from upcycled wood for Unpretty Make-up World; Wooden moon bear jewellery for volunteers at Animals Asia (paid for by volunteers); Wooden hand-painted logo badges for Safeword Theatre Company UK; A wooden wall plaque to celebrate 35 years of the Born Free Foundation (paid for by volunteers as a gift for Virginia McKenna).

I believe beautiful, original and handmade things are for everyone and I ensure my work is always affordable: Portraits start at £28 and jewellery at just £4.

I'm a life-long animal lover and a vegan of many years so everything I make is always 100% vegan friendly.
