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.

The paintings are the expression of my long standing interest with reminiscence, in particular the juxtaposition of a child’s sensory based understanding of their surroundings from the perspective of adult informed awareness, from this foil the imagery within the paintings emerge. Using artists oils on either stretched cotton canvas or heavy linen, depending on the imagery I’m going to paint, the subject matter will be triggered by a reminiscence, a remembered emotional response to an external subject. I’m not looking for literal translations, as I realise there is no precise formula for memory’s understanding, the complexities of remembering can only be an individual experience, my own short term memory for instance has always been erratic in contrast with my vividly detailed long term recall. Art practice for me is an exploration into reminiscence and the problematics that surround it, increasingly environmental issues inform the work.

Influences Surrealist Cinema , early Female Surrealists Artists, also the fiction of Angela Carter, Bruno Shultz.
