Suzanne became All Change’s Artistic Director in 2006. Her relationship with the company began much earlier in 1991, with a six-month voluntary trainee role on the Hilldrop Community Festival in Islington.

From 1991-2006 she worked as a freelance community artist and project director, alongside and in collaboration with some exceptional artists and partners, for both All Change and other arts companies in London and across the UK; providing her with a rich foundation of knowledge, experience and understanding of socially engaged arts practice and what it can achieve.

A belief in and commitment to arts activism, always being ambitious for artists and for communities, the value of collaboration and partnerships, achieving a more equal society, and building connections between communities - shapes and informs her vision and leadership of the organisation, and its programme of work.

An arts activist and combined-arts practitioner - specialising in photography, video, installation and live arts in her personal practice, Suzanne has a BA (Hons) in Fine Art – Middlesex Polytechnic [1986-89] and an MA in Public Art – Chelsea School of Art [1992–93]. She is a founding member of #Islington4Women.
