In Memory of Suzanne Bellamy.
Words by Susan Hawthorne.
“Feminists across Australia and overseas have treasured examples of this intellect and artist Susanne Bellamy…”
We are grateful to the family that have been the benefactors of Suzanne’s remaining work, and for entrusting Gang Gang Gallery with these precious pieces.
Works will be for sale via the Gallery with expressions of interest.
We believe Suzanne’s work and life should be celebrated through this collection and passed on to future collectors and pottery enthusiasts
