About

A Kent based artist, Sue works primarily with oils. Her art is strongly influenced by the Kent and Sussex coast and shorelines. She gets enormous joy from painting, and hopes that her art resonates and inspires your imagination too.

Her contemporary works combine base layers of acrylics with overlays of oils to build and etch form and texture, sometimes incorporating mixed media. She enjoys experimenting to create work that suggests to the observer their own interpretation.  

Her passion for painting seascapes and harbours grew from childhood and family holidays along the English coast . Dawn light, golden sunsets, changing tides and stormy skies provide her creative inspiration.

She has sold over 100 works in the past three years through the annual Open Studios program, private commissions and exhibitions in local Kent galleries. Her work is framed in unique hand made wooden frames made in her studio. Prices range from £120 to £600.

Sue opens her studio at home each year as part of the annual “Art in June” event, and is currently exhibiting her work at The Outpost in Penshurst, and Art Spring in Tonbridge and this year will be exhibiting in Chatham, Whitstable (twice), Chartham, plus guest artist residencies in Lewes and Tonbridge.
