Welcome, I'm Sue

Calling Cairns my home, it's easy to find 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.
