Sue is a full-time, Birmingham born and based artist. Sue's paintings are unusual in the fact that they are created by using a very limited colour palette and many of her paintings are practically photo-real. Sue uses acrylic paint on deep box canvas and as she paints from photographic images her subject matter is limitless, but most of the inspiration is drawn from street life and her great love of architecture and people, both of which are included in her city scene paintings. Sue says: “I call my art ‘Precision Art’ as by using a complicated process which I have developed over a number of years. I produce almost ‘photo real’ paintings by the layering of this small colour palette. It never ceases to amaze me that, having pushed this process to its limits, this sort of result can be achieved with so few colours! I believe the way I create my paintings is unique to me as I am not aware of anyone else using the same type of process.”
