Susan Kellaway (b. 2002, Blackburn, UK) graduated with First Class Honours from the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, in 2024, where she was awarded the Emery Prize. This led to her first solo exhibition, They Meet Between Me, at Pembroke Gallery, Oxford. She was selected for the North West Graduate Platform Award cohort, where she won the CASS Art Prize, granting her an upcoming solo show at CASS Art, Manchester. 

Recently, Kellaway’s work has been recognised by a panel of judges from Tate, the Guggenheim, and the Royal Academy Magazine, earning her the Oxford Review of Books Art Prize (2025). She was also shortlisted for the VAO UK & International Emerging Artist Awards (2024) and received the Mapleton-Bree Prize (2023). She continues to exhibit across Manchester, Oxford and London.
