Hello, I’m Sue…

I am an experimental printmaker whose practice explores hands-on processes with paper, textiles, and woodwork. A visual magpie, I’m curious about visual thinking and the creative flow state, which sets the stage for new ideas to bubble up.

As an educator and early career researcher at Arts University Plymouth, I think about how constraints and abundance shape creativity across traditional and digital approaches. What I discover informs my social projects and solo practice, including Colossal, my mobile screen-print studio. By balancing collaboration with personal exploration, I create space for collective energy while embracing quiet, introspective time in my studio to nurture my impulse to create.
