About this event

Taking subject inspiration from everyday items, Sue simplifies shapes and abstracts elements to offer paintings with depth and often humour.

Sue is a retired primary school teacher and self-taught artist, working from her garden studio in North Cornwall. She started painting in 2014 when she bought a box of oil paints from a car boot sale, for £3! Purchasing a small canvas, she thought she would give it a go and hasn’t looked back ever since.

When her husband suddenly died in 2017 she retired from teaching and gradually repurposed his woodwork shed, turning it into a light and spacious art studio. She took courses at both St Ives School of Painting and Newlyn School of Art, giving her fundamental knowledge of colour theory, composition and mark-making.

She continues to learn every day through exploring and playing with paint. Now working primarily in acrylic, she lays layer after layer, scratching back here and adding more there as she feels her way to a finished painting. Her current work emphasises the negative space in each painting, pulling out the shapes to reveal previous layers beneath.
