ABOUT

Sue Mann settled in North Yorkshire in 2000 where she now lives and works. She attended adult art education courses around work and family for many years before going on to study Fine Art at York St John University.

​

Sue's art practice centres around drawing in response to architecture, and her work ranges from small, contemporary abstract drawings to large-scale, layered drawings installed to respond to light. Her interest in architecture began early, noticing details that shape the atmosphere of a room, from lines traced on wallpaper patterns, or the touch of brass door knobs, to how passages of light fall on walls and floors.

​

Many of Sue's artworks reference shifting tensions between public and private spaces, while others focus on uncovering forgotten or reimagined aspects. Working with the sensory action of drawing and a minimal palette, Sue plays with pattern and texture, inviting us to take a closer look at the built environment around us. Her work shines a light on the profound impact of architectural spaces on those who dwell in them.

​​

Sue works on site responsive projects, independently and collaboratively, and makes work for exhibition. Many of her artworks are available for purchase, and she welcomes sale and commission enquiries.
