Sue England

Artist Sue England studied at Manchester College of Art and worked for many years as a graphic designer before becoming a full-time painter. Working in oil, mixed media, and the specialised disciplines of screen print and monoprint, she makes rich and expressive images inspired by natural landscapes here in the England and as far away as New Zealand. Taking sketches done in situ, as well as photos, found objects and her memories of time spent in the landscape, she uses a carefully tuned palette of colours and multiple layers of the paint to reflect the physical layering of the land, whilst hinting at its history and whatever lies beneath.
