Susan Gransby

Susan Gransby (b. 1947, London, England) is a Canadian printmaker based in Burnaby, British Columbia. She immigrated to Canada with her family as a child and later earned a B.A. in Philosophy from the University of British Columbia in 1969, followed by an Honours Diploma in Printmaking from the Vancouver School of Art in 1979. Before dedicating herself fully to her art practice, Gransby worked as a reporter, copy editor, and assistant art editor at the Vancouver Sun. In 1983 she began working at the Malaspina Printmakers Studio, where she has also served on the board, and she has been a trustee of the Burnaby Art Gallery. Gransby works primarily in etching, reduction linocut, monotype, and mixed media. Her practice centres on urban and industrial architecture, filtering observed structures through memory and imagination. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in numerous public and corporate collections, including the Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada Council Art Bank, Burnaby Art Gallery, and Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, BC).
