“I’m currently based in Forest Lake, Brisbane where I have lived for the past 24 years. My art is informed by my natural surroundings. I have been inspired by nature my entire life. As a child I would observe with great curiosity and wonder the beauty and intricacy of plants, flowers and wildlife, embracing the dance of light upon petals and leaves,” Sue said.
“I often enjoy exploring my neighbourhood and taking photos for my catalogue of inspiration and reference. I then use these snapshots of time in my studio where my concepts come to life through paint and pigment,” she said.
“I’m primarily a 2D visual artist painting in acrylic, oils or soft pastels depending on my subject choice.”
“Additionally, I’m also a printmaker, using lino-printing and mono printing with natural found materials along with freeform crochet and terracotta pot painting.”
