Suzie Marsh studied at Brighton and Exeter Colleges of Art and obtained her degree in ceramic sculpture in 1982. After several years as a designer for Devon based companies, during which she gained an insight into the techniques of industrial production, she established her own workshop in 1986. Suzie has become well known for her animal sculptures which she sells through shops and galleries both in the UK and abroad. She has a fascination with animals' characters and form. Her inspiration is taken from life and through her observations of the animals. Suzie is well known for her sculptures of domestic cats and her love for this animal has resulted in Suzie donating money to the Cats Protection League. Suzie has now linked with the Turgwe Hippo Sanctuary who provide her with pictures of the animals to develop into sculptue.

Suzie's first public sculpture was recently unveiled by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston at Looe Harbour in Cornwall. It is of Nelson, the one-eyed seal who took up residence in Looe Harbour and became, over the next twenty years or so, a favourite of Looe residents and visitors. A public subscription raised funds to erect a full-sized bronze tribute of Nelson as a mark of affection for him. The statue is now mounted on Pennyland Rocks close to the harbour entrance in West Looe. It is hoped that the sculpture will become an instantly recognisable symbol of Looe for the future.
