ABOUT THE ARTIST

Drawing from the
​natural world...

​
​Painting life in the wild

​Sue Ryland is a Cotswold based artist who specializes in oil painting and pyrography. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Sue is passionate about documenting the wildlife she encounters. In 2018, she travelled to Churchill, Manitoba where she was able to spend time among the polar bears. This inspired The Bears of Hudson Bay, a series of oil paintings and pyrography works. Most recently, Sue's travels took her to Katmai National Park, Alaska where she witnessed grizzly bears during the salmon spawn. That experience formed the basis of her newest series of oil paintings entitled The Bears of Katmai.

Sue received her BA in Textiles and Fine Art from West Surrey College of Art and Design. Her work can be found in private collections, as well as in the permanent collection of The Museum in the Park in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

"I am told I should have an extensive artist's statement, but really I just push paint around until it looks the way I want it to."
