Suzanne Prendergast has been an active member of the arts community on Salt Spring Island for almost five decades. Over that time, she has explored a number of art forms, including drawing and coloured pencil, watercolours, papermaking, jewelry making and, more recently, printmaking. Printmaking has been an especially rich medium for Suzanne. She finds it is varied and presents unique challenges and rewards, with many ways to work with colour and form. Her  work often reflects her love of nature. Salt Spring’s environment is a constant source of inspiration.
