Susan Ryder was born in 1944. She studied at the Bryan Shaw School of Painting in London from 1960 - 64. She was elected a member of the New English Art Club and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and was Vice President of The RP from 2002 to 2008.
Since the age of 18 she has exhibited regularly in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and in many other mixed and group exhibitions. She has had three solo exhibitions at W H Patterson, one at the Oakham Gallery and had a solo show at Ackermann and Johnson, 27 Lowndes Street, London SW1 in October 2009. Her work can also be found at the Mall Galleries, Manya Igel Fine Art, Sarah Samuels and other countrywide galleries.
Although well known for her portraits and interiors, it was as a landscape painter that she received her first award. Many prizes followed for both her portraits and interiors, with commissions to paint at fine country houses both in the United Kingdom and further afield.
Her portrait commissions include a wide range of people, most notably, in 1981, HRH The Princess of Wales in her wedding dress and in 1997, HM The Queen, to celebrate the Royal Automobile Club's Centenary. In 1999 one of her portraits was chosen to hang in the National Portrait Gallery.
Susan Ryder is married to Martin Bates and divides her time between London and Scotland. |
