I trained at Harrow School of Art in the mid-sixties and worked
in London as a freelance illustrator until moving to Cornwall
in 1975. After a short time out to have two daughters and run
a smallholding at Pendeen near Penzance I began to sell my etchings
through a London agent. In the early 80’s I started working for
the Adult Education Service teaching Printmaking and Drawing,
and working in local schools under the South West Arts “Artists
in Schools” scheme. Click on a thumbnail to enlarge.
Moving to St. Martins, Isles of Scilly, in 1989 came as a complete
change of direction and I opened North Farm Gallery and have painted
full time since then. My first book, “Sketches of Scilly” was
published in 1997. Last winter I worked on sketches of Fowey and
“The making of Eden” - a book about the new garden project going
on in old china clay workings near St. Austell, and my seventh
book, “Summer on Scilly” will be published this summer. I exhibit
in Galleries in Cornwall, including Trelissick and Lanhydrock
National Trust galleries and this solo show at the Great Atlantic
Mapworks Gallery in St. Just near Land’s End.
Though I spend a growing amount of time working on the mainland,
recording the changing weather and landscape of St. martin’s remains
my greatest pleasure . . . and challenge.
Sue Lewington.
