‘Smokebush Rainbow’ Hand painted batik by Susan D’souza textile artist.

As part of a residency opportunity awarded by Bannatynes Hotel and Pure Arts Group in May 2024 I installed an exhibition of 16 pieces of my textile artwork.

This summer I enjoyed exhibiting and selling at a range of outdoor garden events including Hampton Court Garden Show, The Handmade Craft Fair and The Botanical Art Fair at Sussex Prairie Gardens .
