Biography

Background 

Sue has had a passion for art from a young age, as a child she decorated her own bedroom with murals. Sue had only been able to paint as a hobby though but in 2002 she decided to go to college to study Fine Art and this inspired her to give up her job to a pursue a career in art. She started her own business painting murals but also developed her iconic portrait ideas on canvas. A local gallery saw one of her paintings and it wasn't long before she held the first exhibition of her Legends collection. Many of the paintings went into print and Sue has not looked back since.

Family

Sue lives with her partner Ian and son Ryan. They have both been very supportive and pushed her on to bigger and better things.
She also has a Labradoodle dog called Chutney. Chuts sits with Sue as she works, she's bit barmey but she really is an artist's best friend.

Influences

Sue has many influences including Hopper, Hockney and Liechtenstien but of course Andy Warhol has been her major influence.
Other less obvious influences include Constable, Turner and Gainsbourgh. Sue enjoys landscape painting which she hopes to develop in the near future. She also loves retro ideas and experimenting with abstact and textures.

Sue's favourite paintings are her new Marilyn. The original, which is on sale in Marcus Gallery in Birmingham took a week to paint but the result was very satisfying.
She also loves the Johnny Depp as it started the collection. She would love to give the picture to him personally and tell him why its so important. Maybe some day, fingers crossed.
