Meet the artist behind Suesstudio

Hi, I'm Sue! A watercolour, ink, and coloured pencil artist from Hull, United Kingdom. Discover my journey from a childhood dream to creating art after retirement, and the joy I find in every brushstroke.

From retirement to Suesstudio: my artistic journey

My love of art has always been with me. After retiring, I found the perfect opportunity to attend a friendly little art group once a week. It’s a wonderful space where we share ideas, offer support, and enjoy a good chat over a cuppa, all guided by a lovely lady with no pressure. This environment allowed me more time to explore my skills, ideas, and techniques. I began showcasing my work in a simple form on social media, and thanks to my son, who connected me with an art gallery in Barnsley, I now have a wide selection of prints, artwork, cards, and bookmarks available to buy in the gallery shop.

Where creativity flows: my artistic process

Most of my creating takes place at the old wooden dining table! While I have done artwork whilst on holiday, both locally and abroad, I find that I can easily be distracted in different surroundings. The comfort of my home studio, usually my dining table, allows me to truly focus and bring my visions to life.

The message behind the brushstrokes

What kind of connection do I want people to feel with my artwork? Self-belief is the key! If I can follow my childhood dream, then you can too. Through my pieces, I aim to convey a sense of hope, possibility, and the power of pursuing one's passions, no matter when you start.

"Sue's passion for art shines through every piece, a true inspiration!"
