Sue is a contemporary yorkshire based artist, gaining a Diploma in Fine Art and Crafts at Leeds College of Art, and a BA Honours Degree in Art and Design at Bradford College In 1997. Since then participating in various open exhibition and group shows. Primarily Sue uses oil paint, to draw out intangible moments from specific memories. Layers of impasto being a striking feature.

A personal life long ambition was realised when I first began to paint, and reminiscence has since being the main driving force within my studio practice. My starting point, to re-visit specific moments from the past eventually paint and imagination take over, building and layering the colour until a sort of compromise is met between the remembered ‘moment’ and the painted image in front of me, only happy when remembered “atmosphere “ and paint merge. I’m not looking for literal translations, as I realise there is no precise formula for memory’s understanding, and therefore the complexities of remembering can only be an individual experience, my own short term memory for instance has always been erratic, whilst my long term reminiscences can be vividly detailed. Art practice for me is an exploration into reminiscence and the problematics that surround it.

The first Female Surrealists, Howard Hodgkin and Dali are an inspiration, also writing by Bruno Shultz Street of Crocodiles, Angela Carters short stories and Ian McEwans depiction of defining moments.
