Sue Walker - Down At The Docks

“Wild places and elemental landscapes are the starting point for much of my work and I am particularly drawn to coastal scenes. I find inspiration in the landscapes of East Anglia, Mediterranean visits and sailing trips and travels in the Far East and South America. My choice of subject matter is often decided by my emotional response to the mood and colours of the scene.

There are periods when my work is fairly abstract but when using watercolour and pen and wash I enjoy the challenge of more careful drawing. In either case the paintings are based on direct observation through on the spot pen and wash drawings and colour notes, often in small sketchbooks. Photos are useful to record fleeting moments such as sunrises and sunsets where the quality of the light and the colour changes rapidly.

I have exhibited with galleries across East Anglia from Cambridge to Manningtree, held several solo and joint exhibitions and have paintings in collections in the UK, France, Germany and the USA.”
