Description

The elegant simplicity of Sues work is the core of its appeal. She transforms the seemingly mundane - a simple bowl of cherries or pears or ripe tomatoes - into wonderful works of art. She is fascinated with the use of chiaroscuro (strong light contrasted with deep shadow). In this painting, the dark shadows playing on the white bowl give it that extra interest.

Sue ran her own design company in the Toronto area for many years, producing commercial illustrations, developing advertising campaigns and directing editorial art for magazines. During the past twenty years she has concentrated on fine art, now painting, mainly still life, in oils. She now lives and paints on the lake in Stoney Creek, Ontario.
