Susan Finlay was born on a Sunday.  She is both a writer and an artist, and speaks some German...

​As a writer Susan is the author of three poetry pamphlets and four (published and soon to be published) novels. You can read more about them here. Collaborative projects include the Coelacanth Press, with whom she co-edited four issues of their bi-annual journal; the radio series Documents; and the artists and writers' organ Jour Mal Jour Nal. From January 2020 she will be writer-in-residence at London's Freud Museum.
​
​​​As an artist she has had solo exhibitions in Europe and the US. Again, you can read (and see) more here. Her work has been included in group shows and performances at the Royal Academy of Arts, the Whitechapel Gallery, and Camden Arts Centre among others. Residencies include Unlisted and the Troy Town Art Pottery. In 2016 she co-curated Inland Far, an exhibition inspired by Herbert Read's only novel and its relationship to Jung at the Herbert Read Gallery in Canterbury, and in 2018 Isadora, a combination of text, sound, and film pieces based around the concept of a European salon at MoHA, Austin.

Most (but not all) of her work relates to psychoanalysis, magic, or the decorative arts.
