About the Artist
Sue is part of the Peak District Artisan group. She has been a professional artist for many years and exhibits regularly with two galleries - Staithes Gallery and The Old School Gallery, Muker.
Of her own work, Sue says:
“The wild hills and moors of North Yorkshire and Derbyshire provide a challenge and I love to paint them as they are exposed to the extremes and intensity of light. I try to capture a particular atmosphere created, sometimes fleetingly, by swiftly changing weather conditions and am fascinated by nature’s ability to present a landscape in so many different tempers. I hope my viewers are able to uncover in my work some of the magic I feel in the places I am inspired to paint.”
