Sue Creates Art
Offering Cairns Art Classes, SHS Boutique and Artwork
Welcome, I'm Sue
I’ve called Cairns home for nearly four 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.

Avian Silhouettes: Mixed Media Ink & Watercolor
Step into a creative space where expressive colour meets intentional line. Avian Silhouettes invites you to experiment with flowing watercolour washes before grounding your artwork with bold inked bird forms and intricate detailing. This workshop is perfect for anyone wanting to loosen up with colour while sharpening their pen and ink skills.
You’ll walk away with a striking mixed-media artwork and new techniques you can apply to future pieces — no two results will ever be the same.
✨ Spots are limited — book your place and let your creativity take flight. ✨
