Artist Profile: Sue Syme

Sue Syme - Painter

Sue’s commentary “Detached” exhibition Kura Gallery 2008
“I would like to think that my paintings provoke feeling and speak to people in a way that it is hard to rationalize and put into words.

Everyone is welcome to interpret my work anyway they please… Enjoy!”

After many years of living on the shores of Lake Brunner, West Coast, Sue has recently shifted to Picton. She has been painting full-time since leaving art school. Sue graduated from Otago School of fine Arts in 1980, majoring in printmaking. Exhibiting extensively throughout New Zealand on a regular basis, Sue has worked mainly in water- colours but has moved to oils in recent years and is discovering a new lease of life.
