hi, I'm sue.
A lot of people say my paintings are cute or whimsical. And sometimes they are.
But I invite you to look a little closer. A lot of times there's something else going on. When I get an idea for a painting it's often because something is troubling me. Sometimes I don't even realize it until I'm deep into the painting.
I like to paint animals and trees and nature. They just seem to be the frequencies I'm tuned into. I feel viewing our human experiences in the guise of animals can provide a fresh perspective.
​
I hope my paintings give you a pause to think, to imagine, or simply to enjoy.
