Growing up in rural Ontario, and currently splitting her time between the South Georgian Bay region of Ontario and rural Newfoundland, has informed Sue’s artistic journey which is motivated by environmental stewardship and humanity’s primal connection to our environment. After attaining a Fine Arts diploma from Georgian College in Barrie, Sue spent time travelling Europe, building a house and raising three children. Whether working from her studio in the beautiful village of Creemore, Ontario, or from her home on the shores of Conception Bay, Newfoundland, Sue has produced work that has been exhibited in Canada and Europe and is held in private collections across North America, Europe and Japan. Her work is represented by galleries in Ontario, British Columbia and Newfoundland. Along with her 25 year studio practice, Sue has an extensive teaching career spanning 30 years and includes working with First Nations in Newfoundland/Labrador and Nova Scotia, Autism Ontario and part-time summer faculty at Sir Sanford Fleming College, Haliburton Campus. Sue has taken on several active volunteer rolls in her local communities as co-founder of a local artist-run centre, jurying community art exhibits, facilitating in the schools, installing exhibitions and curating for the first ever public art gallery in Wasaga Beach, Ontario.
