Sue  Melville

Sue Melville has been a practicing artist for over 25 years, viewing the act of painting as an ongoing life journey. To her, painting is a deeply transformative experience, akin to poetry or music, that continually takes her to unexpected places. Sue does not approach a painting with a clear-cut vision of its outcome; instead, she embraces the creative process, allowing the work to unfold naturally and surprise her at each stage. The moment when a painting reaches its completion is the moment when it surprises her, revealing something she couldn’t have predicted—this element of surprise and discovery is what fuels Sue’s passion for art. Her process is intuitive, responding to the materials and the evolving piece, and it’s through this freedom that her work comes alive. Guided by the belief that “magic happens when we get out of the way,” Sue allows each painting to take on a life of its own, pushing her to discover new techniques, forms, and expressions with every brushstroke. She is excited by the constant evolution of her art, and her work continues to be an exploration of new possibilities, both emotional and creative.
