Based in Bude on Cornwall’s north coast, Sue Read is a plein air painter of the sea, the weather, and the wild energy of the shoreline she has grown up with.

Sue captures the spirit of North Cornwall and its dramatic coastal edges, beaches and surf in her mixed-media seascapes which layer colour, movement, and atmosphere.

Authentic, feeling, honest painting that moves you and comes from a joy of ' living'.

As well as original artwork for sale, Sue has collections of seascape prints to bring the coast of North Cornwall straight into your home. (See below)

Studio visits are highly recommended if in the area, where Sue shares her love of the sea and painting with you. Immerse yourself in her barn studio in lovely surroundings to view artwork and prints. ( by appointment please)
