Meet the Artist – Sue Rowling

What type of art work you do?

Landscapes, abstracts and still life prints and paintings

What inspires you / influences your work?

Colour

How did you come to be doing this type of work?
 A love of interiors

Where did you train / develop your work?

Winchester School of Art. I studied textile design and worked as a fashion fabric designer and colour consultant.  After a career break I completed a printmaking course at London College of Printing and now produce monoscreen prints and landscapes as well as felted lambswool cushions.

Why are you taking part in Wandsworth Artists Open House?

Much less formal than a gallery and I can hang pieces the way I like them.

 What can visitors to your open house look forward to?

Colourful landscapes, abstracts, collaged still life prints and lambswool cushions.

 What do you like about being an artist living or working in Tooting and Furzedown?

I love the mixes of cultures in Tooting

 What new projects do you have planned next?

I have just sold a large collection to the Royal Bank of Scotland and am now working on some large scale abstracts for another Corporate client.  I am also planning to introduce more colours into the cushion range.

And finally, do you have any exhibitions planned?

I am showing at Art for Youth at the Mall Galleries and the Affordable Art Fair with Greenwich Printmakers in October 2009.

Thank you.   Sue’s work will be on display at venue 72 in the brochure.
