About  |  Sue Rowsell

Sue Rowsell is a visual artist living in Brisbane. She has been painting and drawing since childhood, and after studying and practising Architecture for many years, decided to follow her passion for painting.

Sue paints predominantly using oil on canvas, and focuses on capturing elements of the natural world around her. She observes colour, texture and pattern in her environment, and brings these observations into her paintings. Her still-life, botanical and landscape paintings can hold associative memories for the viewer. These may be part of a story that involves a gift of flowers, a familiar vase, foliage picked from a walk in the neighbourhood, or simply a special place.
Sue simply invites the viewer to share the joy she finds in nature, and the delight in bringing that moment into everyday domestic life. Her most recent paintings investigate botanical still life, landscapes and seascapes.

Sue is delighted to have been selected as 'Artist in Residence' at Chateau d'Orquevaux in Champagne-Ardenne, France in mid 2018. 

Sue has held several solo exhibitions and been involved in many joint exhibitions both in Queensland and interstate.
