About Me Sue O'Sullivan
I was born and grew up in London and now live in Wiltshire.
My art is inspired by my passion for nature and I love creating colourful unique abstracts and landscapes.
My paintings bring walls to life and I hope that they evoke emotion. Its very important to me that I create work that makes people "feel" something.
I love this quote from Kandinsky
"Colour is a power which directly influences the soul. Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammer, the soul is the strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul." from Tate.org.uk
I experiment with various methodologies to create new and exciting work usually born from my love of being in nature. Some of these may be realistic others are more abstracted.
My favourite medium is acrylic although I occasionally use watercolour, but whichever I'm working with I love to experiment with texture and use a variety of tools to apply paint to create different effects.
In 2021 I won the Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday Award (SBS), this was so exciting as I became a member of one of the leading small business networks in the UK.
During the summer of 2022 I exhibited my work at the Chippenham Art Trail which was a great event attended by many people.
Recently I have been interviewed by James at BBC Radio Wiltshire as part of Wiltshire Meets. This was a great experience and I was able to chat about my passion for art and what inspires me. I was amazed when James commented that a couple of my landscape meets abstract paintings reminded him of a place he used to visit as a child, Ladye Bay. You can see one of these on the left.
Inspired early on by Monet, the founder of Impressionism, and J.M.W. Turner, the “painter of light,” my artistic journey began with a deep appreciation for light, movement, and atmosphere. The influence of Impressionism continues to shape my work today—always evolving, always exploring.
My passion for travel has taken me to breathtaking destinations, many of which have become the inspiration for my paintings. Each piece is a reflection of a moment, a place, and the feeling it evokes.
I invite you to take a journey through my gallery. If you’d like to know more about a particular work, request a video, or arrange a private viewing, please get in touch.
Because art is such a personal experience, I also work closely with clients to create bespoke pieces—whether to capture the memory of a cherished place, or to transform a blank wall into a statement.
I can create a painting tailored to your colour palette, size requirements, and vision. For a no-obligation chat about your ideas, I’d love to hear from you.
