Susie Vickery worked for two decades as a costumier for theatre in the UK and Australia. After moving to South Asia she studied embroidery and worked as a craft consultant with income-generation projects in India, Nepal, Tibet, Myanmar, Mexico and Turkey. She also facilitated community workshops, making art with recycled and local materials.
Susie uses her development work and her concerns about the degradation of the environment and climate change as inspiration for her storytelling with embroidered animations, puppets, automata and textile pieces. Since moving back to Western Australia Susie has exhibited widely. She was a selected artist for the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial in 2021 and has toured with Art on the Move. She is a fellow of the Society for Designer Craftsmen UK.
