Sue Hodnett

I often use the landscape around me as the starting point and work in a variety of mediums.

I overlay line work in pen or pencil with vibrant solid colours of watercolour or acrylic paint to create fresh, lively expressive and often abstract paintings, which are usually completed in one session.

The painters who inspire me are John Piper, Ivon Hitchens and Howard Hodgkin.
