SUE GILMOUR

My work is not about representation but the emotion and connection it creates with the viewer.

I paint many layers obliterating some and allowing small memories of others to stay. Sometimes it tells a story that is recognisable . Sometimes I get so carried away and  obliterate  till regret  comes knocking. I’m interested in ‘what lies beneath ‘ both in painting and real life

I was brought up in Kenya ,Uganda and Tanzania  and studied Honours in Fine Art, London before moving to Far North Queensland  .

I’m represented by Red Hill Gallery Brisbane , Helen Wiltshire Mission Beach and Port Douglas Artists Gallery. I am a member of the Port Douglas Artist Inc. My work has been shortlisted for  major art prizes .

I run regular art classes and workshops around Far North Queensland.
