About Su France

Su is a multidisciplinary, botanical printmaker. Su grows many of the specimens she print with, at her rural Lincolnshire home where she responsibly forages in woodland. The re-wilded paddocks provide Su with the inspiration and diverse habitat for flora and fauna. She is inspired by nature’s cycles, ferns, pebbles, botanicals from first bud to decay’s beauty.

Su prints delicate wildflowers, weathered finds, depicting evocative barns illuminated, tales within and is drawn to kintsugi ceramics, mending cracks with gold, finding beauty in impermanence and capturing fleeting precious moments.
