Sue Gardner

Sue Gardner believes colour plays a mysterious and vital part in our lives. She creates big bold colourful canvases that will make a huge impact on your home, adding joy to your life every day. As a synaesthete, Sue ‘sees’ colour in letters numbers, words, and names, she also ‘hears’ colour in music. This has a great influence of her sense of colour in her work.

Sue’s main driving force in life has always been a love of animals, as they are her natural painting subject. She also takes inspiration from the beautiful National Forest in which she resides.

Sue Gardner has a rare condition called Sarcoidosis, which is an ongoing battle with sight loss.

Sue says “I owe a certain amount to this, as it was being ill initially that led me to begin painting seriously on a daily basis ten years ago. I lay in bed with soft pastel sticks and painted to keep me going. I now have impaired vision, but I can still see well enough to enjoy painting, I simply paint on bigger canvases. “
