Sue Anderson Artist

Bio

Sue Anderson has regularly exhibited her exuberant paintings and drawings around Australia since 1983

Bio

Since then she has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows around Australia. Her work uses colour and simple figurative elements in landscape to illustrate her delight and concern for the natural world. Her work is held in many private and public collections in Australia and overseas.

You can see her current work at Australian Galleries in Melbourne and Sydney and Salt Gallery Queenscliff.

"My artwork celebrates the momentous landscapes at our backdoor, the fragile beauty of the everyday, the songs and dreams of our daily worlds." - Sue Anderson 2013
