I love flowers

- a garden filled with the sight and smell of them gives me such pleasure.

I love watercolour paintings

for their luminosity and delicacy and enjoy working in this difficult medium.

Whilst living in Cambridgeshire and after my two boys were largely grown up, I decided to return to art. (Or should it be Art!) I joined several societies in nearby Ely and Cambridge where a number of successful exhibitions were staged. My work was purchased by some whose interest lay in particular species of flowers and also by those who enjoyed and appreciated my pictures for their own sake.

Having become established and recognised one pleasing feature is that clients return, buying pictures either for themselves or as presents.

I am pleased that my work has created widespread interest

Here are a few of the comments

"The luminosity and skilled detail of her pictures bring to mind the work of eighteenth century Dutch Old Masters, not to mention the great French painter of roses, Redouté. I have no doubt that her work will be much collected, but I hope during her lifetime."
John Kirkland, Fine Art Valuer

"This artist paints one of the most delightful watercolour paintings I have seen ... astonishingly good attention to detail"
Artist of the Month - Paintings and Prints

"Sue is a fine botanical painter"
Robert Maddison, Artist and fine art photographer

Home is a 200 year old stone cottage

In 2002 I returned to my roots in North Wales and now live in a sheltered valley on the Llŷn Peninsula which my husband, Andrew, and I share with a dog, a cat and a duck (she actually has her own accommodation). I can think of no better place to live than here, surrounded by the beautiful countryside which is my ancestral home. My parents and their generation were not allowed to speak Welsh - I'm now trying to rectify this in myself.
