Squiggly Sue – Watercolour Artist

Who we are

I have been painting professionally since 2014, after taking a break to work full-time, study for a Business Degree, and raise my family. My inspiration mainly comes from the Peak District’s awe-inspiring spaces, where I find scenes fascinating due to their light, colours, or aesthetic appeal.
I am particularly drawn to the Japanese concept of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, which involves immersing oneself in nature using all five senses to clear the mind and reduce stress. I aim to recreate this feeling of peace and connection in my artwork, providing a sanctuary from everyday life.
I began selling my art at small craft fairs and now sell original pieces and limited edition prints, greeting cards and designer homeware online as well as at various artisan markets, exhibitions, events, galleries and gift shops throughout the East Midlands.
