About Susannah Katie – Blüme Art

Birmingham Artist Creating Contemporary Mixed Media Art

Susannah Katie is a Birmingham-based artist and the creative force behind Blüme Art, a collection of original paintings that explore texture, material, and contemporary design. With a background in art and design from Birmingham University of Art, her work combines traditional techniques with a modern, expressive approach.

Working across abstract, botanical, and stylised portrait collections, Susannah creates pieces that balance structure with spontaneity. Her process is rooted in layering — building, obscuring, and revealing surfaces to create depth, movement, and visual interest.

A defining element of her work is the use of reclaimed and reimagined canvases, often incorporating subtle traces of their past. This approach brings a sense of history and individuality to each piece, transforming familiar materials into something entirely new.

Influenced by mid-century design, vintage textiles, and illustrated print, her work reflects a strong connection to pattern, colour, and composition. Whether through bold geometric abstraction, expressive botanical forms, or stylised portraiture, each painting carries a distinctive visual identity.

Blüme Art represents a thoughtful and evolving body of work — where past and present meet, and where art is created not only to be seen, but to be experienced through texture, colour, and form.

Susannah has curated the 3 following collections exclusively to go perfectly with Blüme Flowers. They are Botanica, Unscripted Style & Surface Memories
