Forest: collagraph

Kilve V, collagraph (detail)

Sue received a fine art degree in 2004 from the University for the Creative Arts at Farnham. Since graduating she has combined development of a printmaking practice with teaching in adult education and a career in arts administration.

Sue’s work is concerned with textures and surfaces and draws inspiration from the lines and patterns found in landscape and organic forms that tell stories of formation, growth, erosion and decay. Sue has developed a range of collagraph techniques that allow her to use found and recycled materials to create richly-textured prints.

After a number of years living in London and Surrey Sue has recently moved to Somerset, where she was born and grew up. Her work has always drawn on a love of the landscape of the Quantock Hills and the West Somerset coast. Sue has exhibited in galleries, art fairs and open studios in London, Surrey and Sussex. Sue was a member and still teaches collagraph workshops at Ochre Print Studio, near Guildford. Recently she has been accepted to membership of Somerset Printmakers and Spike Print Studio.
