Autor

Susan Ryder has long been one of the country's leading portrait painters. A member of the New English Arts Club and past vicepresident of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, she has painted many notable sitters including HM The Queen, Diana, Princess of Wales and many more. Inspired by the work of Edouard Vuillard and the teaching of Bernard Dunstan, she is still passionately in love with lamplight, to her it is more thrilling than the most beautiful sunset. Setting her scene before starting an interior can take time, moving a lamp a fraction, draping a jacket over a chair or dribbling wine into a glass to just the right level, the upright stem of a glass is her passion too.Alex Leith is Chair of the Critics' Circle Visual Arts section, and in 2024 will be President of the Circle. An author and journalist with some thirty years' experience under his belt, he is currently the editor for the Review of Sussex Arts and British Art News. Specialising in modern and contemporary British art, he has authored several books and contributed articles to national press titles such as the Observer, the Guardian and The Times. He lives in East Sussex.
