Susie Lacome

Susie studied Illustration & Graphic Design at Edinburgh College of Art where she met her future husband David Sim, a fellow student in the department.

After graduating from art school in Scotland in 1976, Susie and David moved to London where Susie worked as an illustrator for eleven years, specialising in books and magazines for children.

In 1988 the couple moved back to Edinburgh with two small children, Rachel and Matthew. In 1994 the family settled in Crail, a lovely fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife.

Susie has illustrated and occasionally written many books for young children, her most recent work includes a set of six books using a fabric/applique style and also two board books for babies. The titles for these books include traditional nursery rhymes, lullabies and fairy tales.

Susie and David opened the Crail Gallery in 2001 to show their printmaking work.

Susie works with linocut and collage in the studio in the gallery, using the two Victorian bookbinding presses to make hand-made, limited edition, relief prints and pictures.
