Susan Mannion studied archaeology and was a museum curator before becoming a full-time artist working in printmaking and enamelling. Living in Boyle, she is influenced by landscape and patterns in nature around her, fascinated by the meeting point or transition from one form to another

She has exhibited nationally and internationally, won awards and been commissioned to create large steel enamel work, presentation pieces, artwork for album covers and films.

This artwork is a unique piece created by fusing enamel onto the surface of the copper at high temperatures of 910 degrees Celsius in a kiln.
