Welcome to Mamamia’s art endeavour, the Voulez-Vous Project. Every week we celebrate emerging artists, designers, illustrators, creators and women who knit using their vaginas. (Kidding. Maybe.) Our aim: to help the internet become a slightly more beautiful, captivating, or thought-provoking place by making art accessible.
Some people are born with an artistic bone in their body, a creative side that sees them immediately appreciate art for the beauty within a piece.
Others? Not so much. They may stare at the same piece as an artistic person and just not… get it. But undeniably, everyone can see when a piece of art has been created with passion. It’s your interpretation of it that varies, person to person.

Susie Bevan’s artwork is all about interpretation.
She loves to paint large, abstract images and let the viewers decide what she means.
“Each of my abstract paintings has 4 wires on the back, so the viewer can hang the painting whichever orientation appeals to them. They also then have the option of changing the orientation whenever they feel like it – just like having a new painting,” Susie told Mamamia.
The artist was born in Nigeria and now lives in Melbourne. She’s fascinated by nature, but not in the typical sense.
