 for 2020

I dare my art-self to be an intrepid explorer

Be bold * Be fearless * Be playful

Artist Statement

Find the magic in my subject, then create it, but simply. 
Strip away all the busyness and let the paint and the application of it reveal a story. 
My painted story then is interpreted by the viewer and becomes their story.  As it should.

Biography

For Sue Wilkins of Campbellford, in work and play she always gravitated to the creative side. Studies in Interior Designs, 22 years as a florist, then later as a designer of intricate quilting patterns

Sue feels the elements and principles of design instilled during those years helped pave the way on her painting journey.

Working primarily in oil or acrylic her heart is definitely given to nature’s elements and the landscape of it.

Studies made on location, combined with memories of what caught her attention to explore the scene in the first place are what fuel her quest to grasp that elusive magic of our natural world.
