Welcome to the art of Sue Wickison BA Hons, SBA

Sue Wickison - Botanical ArtistExquisite original watercolours are the specialty of an artist whose botanical credentials are impeccable yet who can depict New Zealand's native plants with a contemporary twist.

Having completed two highly successful solo international shows recently and a number of gallery exhibitions in New Zealand, Sue Wickison has shown her versatility as an artist as well as a scientifically exact illustrator. Her current passion is for New Zealand natives, in particular endangered species, and she hopes that her focus will help to raise the awareness of their plight in the wild.

Sue spent nine years as a scientific illustrator with The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and has been elected a member of the Society of Botanical Artists in Britain. She has worked on projects in the Solomon Islands, Nepal and Vanuatu and now lives in Wellington, New Zealand with her family, where she works as an artist and freelance illustrator (more biography information here).

Sue's work is for sale in a variety of formats: from original paintings and high quality, limited edition prints through to a stunning new series of gift cards - click here for details.

In late 2006, Sue held a solo exhibition at New Zealand House in London and also exhibited paintings of endangered New Zealand natives at the Royal Horticultural Society's Westminster show, work which won her a silver award (click here to see artwork: Prints and some originals are still for sale).

Savill GardenHer most recent solo exhibition was in April 2007 at Savill Garden at Windsor Great Park, England, coinciding with the re-opening of the New Zealand garden there. Again, the focus was New Zealand natives (Click here to see artwork from this exhibition - prints and a few originals are still for sale).
