About the Artist

​

I’m Sue, a New Zealand nature artist inspired by the subtle patterns and rhythms of the natural world, from coastlines and skies to land, plants, and birds. Working in acrylics, I create representational paintings that explore a sense of place, belonging, and quiet connection. My work is available as original paintings, limited edition prints, and commissioned pieces, each created with care and intention.

​

I’m drawn to nature’s quieter moments: clouds reflecting in water, windswept trees clinging to cliffs, and the quiet strength of native plants. Through my work, I explore how we connect with our environment, and how emotion, memory, and belonging become woven into the landscape over time.

​

After an injury several years ago, I chose to dedicate more time to painting. Balancing this passion alongside my full-time work as an office manager, I now create original artworks, open and limited edition prints, and collections developed for exhibitions. Each piece I make is an invitation to pause, reflect, and find a sense of hope and inspiration in the beauty of the natural world.

​

Whether you’re here to view new works, learn more about my process, or explore pieces from past exhibitions, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
