My Background and Projects
My Website 2024
Early 2009, I formed my own website to showcase both my music and art, and to promote bookings.
In March 2014 my website was given a new look, entirely designed by me and in 2018 a brand new Cookery Website was created - Susie Drages Cookery Pages and linked in the index above. This now has twenty different categories, all of which are constantly being added to when time permits.
I am continually trying out new recipes from a variety of sources, some are my own creations and others are guest recipes, which we like and feel are worth promoting. I hope now that with such diverse content with the different activities that I am involved with, that you will take time to browse and perhaps try some of the recipes.
​
I regularly update all the sections adding Music, Vocals, Videos, Recipes and also pictures to my Gallery - look out for more music postings! ​
I am now designing websites for other people, which has been another unexpected direction for learning this new skill.
My Art
I paint mainly birds, flowers and animals in both watercolour and pastels.
​
Early 2004, I joined the Guildford Art Society and was accepted as a full exhibiting member shortly thereafter. I have exhibited in various exhibitions locally as well as in London , submitted to the Royal Academy and have sold all artworks to date. I have had no formal training.
​
I now belong to various excellent art groups online where I can study tutorials etc and am enjoying being part of their communities and in particular, Jason Morgan Wildlife Art.
In addition to this, I am currently working on building up a new portfolio for an art gallery and also to submit to The Pastel Society.
My Musical Journey
My musical journey is described under MUSIC together with some photographs.
I have sung with various choirs, sung on stage in London fringe theatres during the 1980's.
I played as a violinist with the Kensington Symphony Orchestra.
I learned piano and then keyboard skills and have been a member of various music keyboard forums where I have increased my knowledge and experience.
​
I am currently a member of the Admin team for The Keyboard Players Club, which has a global membership.
I performed live gigs for ten years and now work from my studio and contribute to online music forums and Facebook groups.
I launched my two latest albums in April 2016 to add to the one launched in 2012. Click on ALBUMS in the Index above.
​
My fourth Album - MOMENTS TO TREASURE is currently work in progress .
​
I have taken up Classical piano once more and am experimenting with orchestrating popular arrangements.
