About Sue Eves
Sue Eves’ paintings focus on epiphanies gleaned from nature, folk stories and fairytales, as you might expect from an artist who is also a storyteller and children’s book illustrator. Sue makes paintings on discarded windows using the glass panes as a canvas and storyboard. Her window art began back in Covid days, when she was furloughed from The Story Museum, Oxford. People passing by on their walks stopped to view her window paintings, painted in gouache - not a waterproof or condensation proof medium. So she started with a clean (single-glazed) window each day. Children were coming to the windows in search of the next story. Follow Sue’s work on Insta: @sueevesartist
