“My work draws on the ebb and flow of nature and my experiences. It is an expression of the changing tides of everyday life and the process of navigating them.

Using layers of mixed-media, I like to create depth and the illusion of movement, allowing the viewer to see a story of their own within each canvas. As in life so in art, seeing alternative possibilities is an intrinsic part of my work.”

“For me, painting is a journey of discovery. With time and contemplation, thoughts, feelings and ideas evolve into artworks. I continue to be fascinated with the possibility of creating something beautiful out of chaos and adversity. The smallest detail impacts on the balance and harmony of the whole.” – Sue Meyer

Sue Meyer’s work emerges instinctively and it is easy to be swept up in its fluidity and depth. Her works invite the viewer into an open, transformative world that speaks of both mystery and adventure. She has exhibited continuously in both solo and group exhibitions since 1997 and has been selected as a finalist in numerous competitions.

Growing up immersed in the exotic sights and sounds of the East, Sue’s artistic practice is imbued with unique influences that resist easy definition. She migrated to Australia at age 16 and attributes living in Sydney by the sea as her continuing inspiration combined with a lifetime absorbing the imprints of regular travel.

The multiple layers of her work reflect memory, nostalgia, and an ever-changing physical and emotional environment. Her technique involves layering spontaneous markings and gestures on surfaces scraped and scratched. Using mixed media including acrylics, ink, and charcoal, she creates metaphorical images and luminescent abstractions.  Past and present together with the ever-fleeting moment weave harmoniously into new perspectives and possibilities.

Contemporary Australian artists Pam Cowper, Elizabeth Cummings, and Jenny Sages have been amongst Sue’s most inspirational teachers, leaving profound influences on her artistic development. Her works can be found in both Australian and International collections.
