Susana Enríquez, is an Australian artist born in Mexico City. She came to Australia in 2001 as an international PhD student with two postgraduate scholarships from the University of Newcastle. Dr Enríquez studied music, drama, literature, and visual arts at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

In 1982 she lived for six months in West Berlin thanks to an academic exchange scholarship. In 1992 she was invited to exhibit in Paris at the Fresh Paint exhibition, young Latin American painters at the Marcel Duchamp gallery. In 2016, Dr Enríquez celebrated twenty-five years of her international career.

Dr Enríquez is an interdisciplinary artist with a vast culture and solid technical knowledge in painting and printmaking. He also draws and uses photography to create digital art. She has participated in art, and music shows in Mexico and Australia. She has been a volunteer curator at the Newcastle Community Art Center and a contract curator at the Newcastle Art Gallery.

In 2007-2008 she completed an internship at the National Gallery of Australia through ANU in curatorial and Aboriginal Art studies.

Dr Enríquez has 30 individual and 45 collective exhibitions in Europe, Japan, Argentina, the United States, Mexico and Australia. Her work has been selected for art awards, including several biennials in Mexico. Leading Mexican critics and artists, including Sasha Grishin in Australia, have featured her work.

Her marriage to the prominent Mexican composer Manuel Enríquez (1926-1994) was a strong influence. Much of her work relates directly to him, but more important has been her extraordinary relationship with music, art, and culture, resulting in highly diverse professional experiences.

Her insertion into the world of art and other cultures through multiple trips and stays in Europe, Asia and Latin America gave her substantial knowledge, allowing her to enrich her work.

Dr Enríquez's artwork is in public and private collections in Mexico, Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy, Argentina, and the United States. His paintings have been published twice in the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) magazine Voces de México, the art magazine: ARTisSpectrum in New York, and twice in Hunter Life Style magazine in Newcastle.

As an author, in 2014, Dr Enríquez published Migration: Identity and Memory. In 2015, three of his short stories were published in the book Va de Cuento by the CEPE - National Autonomous University of Mexico.
