Mixed-media artist based in the beautiful, historic town of Uppingham, Rutland
Hi, I'm Sue
My artwork invites you to linger, to explore its layers, and to discover moments of memory, emotion, and quiet curiosity.
I paint mainly with acrylics and other mixed media on wooden panels or canvas, layering paint, collage, and mark-making. I often scratch back through these layers to reveal hidden fragments, echoes of history, memory, and chance discovery. I love repurposing old books and paper ephemera, weaving traces of the past into the present.
Through collage, I bring together elements that don’t naturally belong, creating quiet tension and harmony, intrigue and play. Each fragment emerges through spontaneity, then settles into balance. Sometimes botanical shapes or vessel forms appear, familiar yet abstract, offering space for reflection. I search for harmony in contrasts: the seen and the hidden, the deliberate and the accidental.
