Abstract

Sue has a passion for abstract art as well as the representational. She says "I love exploring the relationships between forms, colours and tones. The pictures build up over time, revisited each day with fresh eyes over a number of weeks, the way that bright colours glow vibrantly when placed next to dark shades is really exciting."

Landscape

I find great inspiration in the colours, textures, smells, temperatures and atmospheres of the landscape which feed directly into all my pieces. This inspiration feeds into two types of work, one an intuitive response to the landscape and the other based on the close observation of specific places.

 

Flowers

Complimenting the work from landscape Sue explores flowers in close up and combined with abstract forms building up rich surfaces and patterns.

 

 

Influences

She in particularly is influenced by the Modernists of the early Twentieth Century including Klee, Braque, Matisse, Mondrian, Nolde, Kandinsky and Schwitters but also the St Ives School of painters and sculptors including Barbara Hepworth, Terry Frost and Wilhemena Barnes Graham. I am also inspired by contemporary artists such as Howard Hodgkin, Harvey Daniels, Melita Denaro, James Naughton, Elizabeth Blackadder and Peter Blake.
