She has participated in over 20 Artist in Residency programs throughout Victoria and in Virginia, U.S.A.
She is highly skilled at documenting personal stories, experiences, hidden secrets and symbols that make up the characters, and belief systems, of the individuals and groups she collaborates with.

She has empowered hundreds of individuals to explore their individuation, through the arts, and through team interaction.

Many individuals have found their own vernacular language, and unique ways of expressing themselves, and have continued to make art long after the initial project. Many return as volunteers for years afterwards.

The installations often reflect the intrinsic cultural traditions and individual aspirations of these people, highlighting their universal similarities, and their personal differences.

The artworks are mainly site-specific, transforming often hostile or neutral spaces into places of belonging and meaning.

The installations often have universal themes with unique individual expression, spirit, imagination, and beauty.

The installations are found in community settings such as gardens, housing estates, neighbourhood houses, community and youth centres, schools, shopping centres, railway stations, and festivals venues.

Suesy is well known for her expertise in working with often highly disadvantaged individuals, from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

She has witnessed many participants, crushed by loss, grief and depression, rise to the moment displaying motivation, self confidence and joyous self expression.

She is committed to training and mentoring young artists, teachers, occupational therapists, and art therapists to see them skilled-up for other community cultural development projects.

She has hundreds of stories of transformation and healing that she shares when discussing these projects.
