Artist Statement
Suzanne Scott is an award-winning designer and illustrator who works under the name WhimSicAL LusH.
She loves going on inky adventures and adores the little things in life that so often pass us by. She is inspired by the joys that nature provides and discovering those wonderful, curious nostalgic childhood memories that often feel like dreams.
Helping others find their voice through art is also a great passion of Suzanne’s and she can often be heard shouting about how therapeutic creativity can be.
Whether she’s creating creatures or castles, houses or robots, drawing trees, toadstools or flowers, or turning people’s ideas into reality there is always a story on her drawing board. Come and join her on her journey in ink and step into the little world of WhimSicAL LusH.
Suzanne has also secured prominence as a public artist with Dundee’s Discovery Walk (in Dundee’s new waterfront), a painted door for Open/Close Dundee, a 3D wooden mural for Roxburghe House, Dundee and has been part of several public art trails, including both Oor Wullie’s Bucket Trails and Maggie’s Penguin Parade, where she was art director and trail artist too.
