Sue Davis has been a professional artist since graduating from the Central School of Art in London. After a 10 year period as a teacher, she left her Head of Art position in Harrow to run a design and mural painting business in Hertfordshire for 16 years. On selling the business she moved to Falmouth where she now lives and works.
With many years experience of painting and drawing her personal exploration has brought her to non-representational work. Always being aware of many thoughts and feelings running through her head at the same time. She feels the abstract approach has more power for her, it allows many images to jostle together and create something new. Something which is not so formalised and literal that it stops ones imagination growing.
As with any image it has to start somewhere and since arriving in Cornwall she has taken up kayaking. The kayak allows her to slip silently though the silken waters. Moving low in the water gives a new dimension and sometimes makes the whole world seem to be slipping and sliding. Always aware of light, shade, time and sound, the images of these journeys have added to and informed her latest works.
