Sue Gray – Artist Profile

Sue Gray grew up in Melbourne where she studied graphite and pastel for ten years with a wildlife master. From 1986, she focused on drawing animals and birds in their natural environment. In 2003, Sue relocated to Cairns and began working in watercolour and oil.

This collection of artwork reflects Sue’s creative ability and diversity in subject matter, and showcases her response to the unique beauty of Cairns particularly the tropical rainforest and surrounding beaches.

When it comes to painting, she tries to ‘maintain the interchange between observation and narration, and to execute such moments and feelings through loose, spontaneous and simple brushstrokes.’

‘Art adds balance to my life. I am compelled by nature to capture the beauty of the rainforest and charm of wildlife. When I am at my easel nothing else matters except the moment when I escape into the painting. I find this solitary exodus of drawing and painting to be filled with a sense of peace. And… if all it goes well, the final strokes bring happiness and achievement.’ Sue Gray
