Susie Harrop, Taranaki artistSusie Harrop used to milk cows in the Rahotu cowshed where she now paints large works in oil and acrylic, capturing rural life and people, and also scenes from Maori legends.
Although she has always loved to draw and paint, her life of raising her family, running the farm with her late husband Jim, teaching swimming and breeding horses meant time for art was crammed among other responsibilities. A self taught artist who has only recently had time to focus on her painting and had her first proper exhibition at the age of 70. You can meet Susie and view her art at Hollard Gardens on the Taranaki Arts Trail, 30-31st October and 1st November 2020.
