As you will have seen from the first page, my name is Sue Rose and I live in Tunbridge Wells in Kent which is about 40 miles from London.

I started my life in design back in the early 1980s when my sister asked me to make her a quilted jacket. I remember it was a patchwork jacket made from purple, mauve and cream design squares and it was just fabulous! The colours inspired me to go on and study for an A Level in art and Design which I did through the Adult Education Centre in Fareham, Hampshire (I was living in Gosport at the time).

Because of this course I became interested in women artists and their part in the history of art and so I joined up for Arts Foundation Course with the Open University. Here, "Arts" meant music, philosophy, art and literature.

I then studied for my BA in Art History and then I progressed to working towards my MA in Jewish/Christian Relations. (Cambridge) ("Why" I hear you ask!)? Well, when I looked at Christian paintings something always seemed wrong to me but I didn't understand what it was - I needed to learn and understand. Even though I am not a religious person myself I knew I had to explore the origins of Christianity in order to "read" Christian paintings.

Back in the 80s I also started jewellery making and this has stayed with me all the way through and in September 07 I attended a short course on silversmithing.

Life is a journey and I believe we must take advantage of every twist and turn. Tis better this than to reach old age and say "I wish I had ...."
