GUEST - Sue Houghton

A Kent based contemporary artist, Sue draws creative inspiration from places and objects that she loves, particularly the Kent coast, its harbours, and the beaches where she walks and cycles. She works mainly in oils, repainting to build layers and markings, sometimes incorporating mixed media for added texture. The ever-changing moods of the sea, the dynamic energy of the waves, tranquility of calm waters and golden sunsets, and vast stormy skies provide her inspiration, and she also relishes the occasional diversion of subject matter to create an eclectic art collection. The joy for her is seeing a client drawn to a painting because it resonates for them too. She hopes that her work reflects her enthusiasm and passion for her art, and her delight in colour and experimentation.

Her work is presented in hand made natural wood frames made in her studio.

She has sold over 100 works in the past three years through the annual Open Studios program, private commissions and exhibitions in local Kent galleries.
