Sue originally worked as a biochemist/microbiologist and then as a primary school teacher. She now devotes as much time as possible to her love of creating art.

​Sue’s painting journey began as a teenager experimenting with oils and poster paints, having worked in most mediums, her favourite these days is watercolour.  Although she enjoys ‘traditional’ scenes she is also very interested in creating pattern and textural effects and experimenting with semi-abstract themes. Over the last 7 years or so Sue has been creating a series of paintings inspired by the movement and passion of the flamenco with a feeling of elegance added which is sometimes blended with the Art Deco figurines of the early 20th century. These paintings have become her most in-demand work. She has also illustrated two books of fantasy poetry by the Australian author Peter Kenny.

​Sue has exhibited widely including the Artist and Leisure Painter magazine annual Open Exhibition at Patchings Art Centre, Nottingham; the Royal Society of Marine Artists Exhibition at the prestigious Mall Galleries, London and Ex-Alt, Milan. She was awarded a Rising Star Future Master Award at the U.K. International Watercolour Masters Competition, 2020 and a Top 200 in the same competition 2021. She tutors art to adults holding weeklyand provides workshops and demos to art clubs and societies together with painting holidays in Spain, Greece and Croatia.
