Suzie is a true local having grown up in the Yallingup region, but her career has taken her working all over Western Australia. A passion for art and working in art galleries for many years has resulted in an extensive knowledge of the arts which she loves to share with visitors. Meeting and talking to people from all walks of life in her gentle, well-spoken way is another aspect of her role as gallery assistant that Suzie enjoys immensely.
