Suzanne Scott is an award winning artist and illustrator based in Dundee, working under the name WhimSicAL LusH.

She loves going on inky adventures and adores the little things in life that so often pass us by. She is inspired by the joys that nature provides and those wonderful curious nostalgic childhood memories that often feel like dreams.

Helping others find their voice through art is also a great passion of Suzanne’s and she can often be heard shouting about how therapeutic creativity can be.

Whether she’s creating creatures or castles, houses or robots, drawing trees, toadstools or flowers, or turning people’s ideas into reality there is always a story on her drawing board. Come and join her on her journey in ink and step into the little world of WhimSicAL LusH.

Suzanne creates unique, quirky illustrations that feature on ranges of prints, stationery, homeware and more, selling them online and through various shops and galleries. Working with businesses both large and small she helps them tell their stories too – via illustration.

Suzanne has also secured prominence as a public artist with Dundee’s Discovery Walk (in Dundee’s new waterfront), a painted door for Open/Close Dundee, a 3D wooden mural for Roxburghe House, Dundee and has been part of several public art trails, including both Oor Wullie’s Bucket Trails and Maggie’s Penguin Parade, where she was art director and trail artist too.

More recently, Suzanne worked with children and young people from across Angus to create the Monifieth Art Trail and her Dundee Christmas Card installation outside the Caird Hall in Dundee City Square during Christmas 2020 was a great hit. Suzanne’s biggest project to date was unveiled in May 2022 – artwork for the new Children’s Surgical Unit in Ward 30 at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee. Hopefully helping elevate anxieties for children and their families across Tayside.

As well as working on designs for WhimSicAL LusH Suzanne enjoys collaborating and working alongside others, leading and being part of creative projects.

Over the last few years Suzanne has raised approximately £170,00 for charity with her illustration work and been part of charity teams helping to raise nearly £3 million!!! 

Suzanne’s work has featured in several solo and group exhibitions and there a number of shops and galleries throughout Scotland stocking her work. She regularly attends art events and markets throughout the year and sells online via Etsy.
