Sue Loveday makes playful artwork that celebrates words and ideas.

Her artistic loves include retro quirk, art made by the untrained or outsiders, the depression era, hand painted signs, paper cutouts, energetic linework, the block print, colour that sings, earthy and flouro… sometimes together, besser blocks, wood work, composting and cricket.

Sue loves the challenge of answering a brief with spirit, whether the comission is high end commercial or grass roots community.

Facilitation

“Everyone can draw, and when we draw together it can be the start of a great idea.

It’s amazing to see social barriers and prejudices broken down around a collection of art materials while people create collaboratively and make unlikely friends.”
