Olly and Suzi

Biography

Olly & Suzi have been making art together since they met as degree students at Central St. Martins School of Art in 1987. Their on-going collaboration was cemented whilst on the D.I.P.A Scholarship to Syracuse University in New York State in 1988/89. It was during their early journeys throughout America that they first encountered Native American Indian art and mythology. Inspired by the underlying respect for nature and animals inherent in indigenous art, and the Indian belief of “animals as brothers” they decided to formalise and refine their mission as artists - best described as; “A collaborative, mutual response to nature at its most primitive and wild.”
