Sue’s
style of painting is very slow and meticulous working in the
traditional watercolour discipline capturing the details and nuances of
colour of the plants. Paintings can take weeks or months to complete as
layer upon layer of fine washes are built up to recreate the living
plants on paper. See
images below.Sue exhibited as one of the guest artists with the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts Summer Exhibition in April 2009 and this year her work can be seen at the following exhibitions:
