About the Artist
Susan has a passion for Oil and watercolour painting, creating Quality artwork.
Her works cover a range of categories including landscapes, animals and portraits, but it was a love of horses and limited television time that started her sketching from a very young age.
Susan's mother laments: “As a child she would run around the backyard on her hands and feet, over jumps, pretending to be a horse. At high school, She was known for drawing them all over her schoolbooks.”
Post school Sue headed straight for Commercial art college studying advertising and graphic design. Her professional career has seen her in varying roles, starting as a junior artist and quickly moving up the ladder to desktop publishing coordinator, corporate services manager and Computer Services Manager in corporate publishing environments.
In 2001 Sue began her own successful graphic design, production and training business.
Throughout her professional career, Sue has never given up on her passion for creating art.
From the Artist
“I am now on a more focused journey to fulfil a life-long dream to become a professional artist. Each piece I create has my utmost dedication and passion. I hope my works are loved by many and cherished by their new owners. It is often hard to let them go!
