About Me

Sue Jokinen  - Biography

Born in the late Fifties to an Irish catholic father and an English protestant mother Sue’s early life was one of conflict. Her escape was into literature and music which fuelled her imagination. Living in the north of England, with the beauty of the Welsh mountains to the south and the English Lake District to the north, her world was one full of forest surrounded by water and open skies. 

Colour and texture are Sues strengths.  She sees the patterns in the bark of a gumtree or the range of shades in a pool of water and they become the abstract designs she is known for. Having sold her work across three continents, her aim is to make original pieces of art available and affordable to everyone.  Sue does not make prints of her work so each and every piece is an original.

Currently working with beautiful French inks on Yupo paper, Sue has found her forte.  Commissions are her personal favourites; to bring anothers dreams to fruition is a joy. 

Sue now lives very happily in Australia with her family.

Sue exhibits every Saturday at Paddington Markets in Sydney.
