Drawing inspiration from the unexpected beauty of nature, Susan Remnant's garden serves as both a sanctuary and a source of reflection where she observes the interplay of geometry, organic form, light, and shadow. Through photography, she captures these visual fragments, exploring the delicate balance between order and chaos. Using metal, enamel, and other materials, she investigates the relationships between texture, colour, shape, and form. Her intuitive creative process blends memories with materials, resulting in jewellery that reflects the intricate beauty of the natural world.

Susan Remnant is a jewellery artist specializing in enamel on metal. A background in ceramic sculpture and print making has influenced her approach to metalwork. The three-dimensional forms she created from clay and the surfaces that developed through the print making process remain integral aspects of her jewellery. A formal goldsmith apprenticeship gave her a solid technical foundation from which to explore traditional metal smithing techniques with an experimental approach to materials and processes. Many years of teaching have provided her the opportunity to work with other artists, sharing ideas and techniques in a creative environment.
