Earth to Air	In Memoriam (Ancient Tree)	Let the Bird Sing
Autumn Birch Copse

Sue Melville is drawn to places which have a sense of magic and awareness of time passing. She conveys this feeling using colour and movement in her paintings. She works in a variety of media including acrylics, pastels, collage and charcoal. In her recent paintings the frame has become incorporated into the picture.

"My work is concerned principally in interpreting the landscape around me in a poetic sense following in the tradition of other English artists such as Paul Nash. My favourite places or themes are Houghton House, a 17th century ruin just outside Ampthill, Bedfordshire, and the landscape and fallen trees situated in Ampthill Park. The fallen trees have provided a wealth of imaginative possibilities as their appearance changes with weather and time. They take on the forms of animals, birds, and heads and have a presence and life of their own."

Background and Exhibitions
Sue studied fine art at Kingston Polytechnic and the Royal Academy Schools between 1969 and 1975. She has exhibited at numerous group and solo exhibitions in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. Commissions are welcome.
