The decline in the Textile Industry and the economic climate led Sue to retraining and working in a drawing office. It was during this period that her passion for painting still continued and with many years of experience and training led to a professional and key work ethic. The main focus is on colour, shape, design and, alongside her draughting skills, to use different mediums including watercolour, pastels, gouache and acrylic in producing a wide variety of work.

The inspiration for all the work has come from Sue's personal experiences and from her hobbies.

Living near the River Mersey Sues passion and knowledge for sailing has inspired her to incorporate the key elements of movement and atmosphere in her paintings. Her fascination for motorbikes and visiting the Isle of Man have played a major part in inspiring and creating paintings which capture speed, light and colour. Over the years private collectors, riders and pubs have commissioned work from various locations along the TT course.

Travel has also been a mayor influence and inspiration in her works, capturing the colours and ambience of different countries visited.

Her passion for painting and drawing extends into teaching where Sue invites and encourages others into her exciting world of art.
