After starting her career in Prosthetics and Orthotics, Suman took the leap to concentrate on her art and she won the best amateur artist in the BBC Big Painting Challenge 2017.
Suman’s QEST Scholarship supported her formal study in an atelier where she further developed her skills in painting and drawing.
She is a multidisciplinary artist with a specialism in realist portraiture. Her work brings light to under represented communities, stories and also reflects on her own South Asian heritage. Her first solo show took place in New York in 2023, with permanent acquisitions by Leeds Museums and Galleries.
