My Background and Projects

My Website 2025
Early 2009, I formed my own website to showcase both my music and art, and to promote bookings.
In March 2014 my website was given a new look, entirely designed by me.
In 2018 a brand new Cookery Website was created - Susie Drages Cookery Pages .
After eleven years, this website is now been incorporated into
Susie Drage Music Art & Cookery
and Susie Drage's Cookery Pages was closed down in January 2025.
My Cookery Book has been given an entirely new look, more than 300 recipes removed and new ones being added. I am continually trying out new recipes from a variety of sources, some are my own creations and others are guest recipes, which we like and feel are worth promoting. PLEASE NOTE THAT PROVENANCE IS GIVEN WHERE POSSIBLE - as my ethos is to try recipes I like, more often than not to tweak them to suit my taste and then share on - so there is nearly always origin or inspiration from other cooks, whether online or from old cookery books, cluttering up my kitchen book shelves.
I hope now that with such diverse content with the different activities that I am involved with, that you will take time to browse and perhaps try some of the recipes.
​
I regularly update all the sections adding Music, Vocals, Videos, Recipes and also pictures to my Gallery - look out for more music postings! ​
​
My Art
I paint mainly birds, flowers and animals in both watercolour and pastels.
​
Early 2004, I joined the Guildford Art Society and was accepted as a full exhibiting member shortly thereafter. I have exhibited in various exhibitions locally as well as in London , submitted to the Royal Academy and have sold all artworks to date. I have had no formal training.
​
I now belong to various excellent art groups online where I can study tutorials etc and am enjoying being part of their communities and in particular, Jason Morgan Wildlife Art.
In addition to this, I am currently working on building up a new portfolio for an art gallery and also to submit to The Pastel Society.


My Musical Journey
My musical journey is described under MUSIC together with some photographs.
I have sung with various choirs, sung on stage in London fringe theatres during the 1980's.
I played as a violinist for eleven years with the Kensington Symphony Orchestra.
I learned piano and then keyboard skills and have been a member of various music keyboard forums where I have increased my knowledge and experience.
​
I am currently a member of the Admin team for The Keyboard Players Club, which has a global membership.
I performed live gigs for ten years and now work from my studio and contribute to online music forums and Facebook groups.
I launched my two latest albums in April 2016 to add to the one launched in 2012. Click on ALBUMS in the Index above.
​
My fourth Album - MOMENTS TO TREASURE is currently work in progress .
​
I have taken up Classical piano once more and am experimenting with orchestrating popular arrangements.
