Welcome, I'm Sue

I’ve called Cairns home for nearly three years, finding endless inspiration in its breathtaking rainforests, stunning beaches, and vibrant natural beauty. Through drawing, painting, surface pattern design, digital art and photography, I channel the region's patterns and textures into my work, capturing its essence and sharing the magic of nature and creativity with others.

Create With Us at the Tanks in 2026! 🌿

We are thrilled to announce that Glenis Lawler and I will be returning to the iconic Tanks Arts Centre for a brand-new series of workshops throughout 2026!

Nestled within the lush, tropical canopy of the Cairns Botanic Gardens, the Tanks provide the ultimate sanctuary for creativity. There is simply no better place to find inspiration than surrounded by the sights and sounds of the gardens.

What’s New for 2026?
We’ve spent the off-season dreaming up fresh concepts and techniques. We’ll be popping up on assorted Saturdays throughout the year with a calendar full of:

  • Brand New Workshops: Innovative projects we haven’t taught before.
  • Diverse Mediums: Whether you’re a seasoned creator or picking up a brush for the first time, there is something for everyone.
  • Creative Community: A relaxed, supportive environment to learn, play, and connect.

Dates will be released in blocks, so keep a close eye on this page to secure your spot in the rainforest. We can’t wait to see what you create!
