Resonant Light

Solo Exhibition | 26 July - 20 August 2021

Tresillian Arts Centre

Resonant Light transforms the mundane of everyday spaces into dream-like urban visualisations. The exhibition is characterised by the multidimensional nature of the spaces we live in, where light determines our perception of the shapes that undulate around us each and every day. Resonant Light reacquaints the viewer with the beauty of the familiar that grows unseen over time. Sue’s approach to watercolour capitalises on the fluidity and unpredictability of the medium within the partially defined boundaries of realism.

Urban Spaces

Solo Exhibition | 27 July - 21 August 2020

Tresillian Arts Centre

Urban Spaces explores in Watercolour the built up urban environment we inhabit. We walk through these spaces amongst the myriad of images, surfaces that reflect light, transparency and movement.

Light and Shadows

Solo Exhibition | 27 August - 27 September 2018

Tresillian Arts Centre

The theme of light and shadows was explored through the lens of everyday interiors and how these personal spaces evoke stillness and a place of quiet contemplation. These spaces are full of dark corners with unknown boxes and disused items that present interesting shapes, textures and tones for the artistic eye.
