ABOUT

Sue Wearne is a visual artist who dabbles in drawing, painting, printmaking and collage. Sue studied Fine Art and now educates secondary school students in Gippsland, Victoria.

Her interest in the natural world emerged from a young age growing up in an old river-valley at the base of the Strzelecki Ranges. Living amidst rich forests of gumtrees and thicketed babbling creeks fuelled Sue’s curiosity for form, line and colour.

After ten years of work and study in Melbourne, Sue decided to move back to Gippsland, a wildly beautiful and rugged landscape to inspire her new creative pursuits.

Sue’s work explores voyeurism and being present in landscape through its seasonal shifts. Her work encompasses a variety of methods in art making and can be intensely intuitive at times. Her renderings of abstracted landscapes are highly patterned, playful and saturated in moody opaques - often speaking to the transitory and ephemeral nature of the environment that surrounds her.
