Her multicultural background serves as fertile ground not only for her imagination to take root, but also colours and informs the narrative and expression of her art. It is easy to discern a playfulness in her work that mirrors her distinct quirky perspective on life. For her, connecting two seemingly disparate ideas to come up with a surprising solution or a new way of looking is something that features strongly in her career in advertising and also her art.
Sue works predominantly in oil and acrylic, and has exhibited in a duo show in Singapore in 2018, a group show in 2024, and undertaken a number of commissions. She is drawn to live subjects, and in her latest solo exhibition, ANIMALIA: A brush with the Chinese Zodiac, encapsulates this deep passion for humans and animals, sometimes combined in an anthropomorphic way, termed humanimal.
Her works are often provocative, open to interpretation, and confronts and presents subjects in a way that is mysterious, dynamic, vulnerable yet resilient, full of spirit and vigour.
