Susanne Nørregård Nielsen is a Fife-based Danish artist. Susanne is interested in illuminating art works central to the 20th century canon, to provoke new thinking on the impact of artists practice using feminine gendered materiality. Most current work is inspired by the influence of textiles on early 20th century visual art, in particular abstract painting with a focus on Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s practice.
Susanne originally trained as a screen-printer in Copenhagen, before studying printmaking and painting at the Art Academy (P.W.S.S.P.) in Poznan, Poland. After two years she went on to study in the Painting and Printmaking Department at Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 1998. Susanne is a lecturer in the Painting and Printmaking Department of The Glasgow School of Art.
The Bridge Awards Residency was launched in 2023 to support artists based in Scotland recovering from breast cancer. The inaugural residency was awarded to Fife-based artist Susanne Nørregård Nielsen.
Building on the success of this first individual residency, a one-week group residency was introduced in May 2024 and awarded to five artists. Now in its fourth year, Cove Park is pleased to offer five fully funded placements in the 2026 group residency which includes music and wellbeing sessions led by Lesley Howells, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Maggie’s Lead Psychologist and members of the Scottish Ensemble.
We are grateful to The Bridge Awards for making this residency possible, and to Maggie’s and Scottish Ensemble for their support.
