Artist Statement for the Website

Nestled within the serene landscape of Yallingup, Western Australia, Sue Churack's art studio emerges as a harmonious blend of creativity and nature's splendour. A mere whisper away from Dunsborough, her studio stands as a testament to her profound connection with the wild beauty of the South West and her insatiable passion for vibrant hues.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Sue's sanctuary seamlessly integrates into its surroundings, inviting the outside world to dance within its walls. Bathed in the gentle glow of natural light filtering through expansive windows, her workspace becomes a canvas in itself, where the colours of the landscape meld effortlessly with her artistic vision. Amidst native orchids, grass trees, and towering gum trees, Sue finds inspiration at every glance, each element of her environment contributing to the symphony of creativity that unfolds before her.
As Sue paints, she is serenaded by the soft melodies of birdlife and the gentle rustle of kangaroos, grounding her in the rhythmic pulse of the land. In this immersive setting, her creativity blossoms, nurtured by the raw energy of the Australian landscape. With each brushstroke, Sue's art breathes life into the canvas, capturing the essence of the world around her in vivid detail.
Sue's artistic journey is a testament to her deep reverence for nature and her ability to translate its beauty onto canvas. Having transitioned from a career as a hairdresser, Sue's innate sensitivity to texture, colour, and form infuses her paintings with a unique sense of movement and texture, reflecting her artistic flair and technical mastery.
Her talent has garnered acclaim, earning her prestigious awards such as the Ludlow Tuart Forest People's Choice Award in 2022 & 2034 and the Most Popular Painting at the Quindalup Artists 2024 Biannual Art Exhibition. Through her involvement with the Margaret River Studio of Fine Art, she cultivates connections, showcases her work in exhibitions, and continues to refine her craft through collaborative endeavours.
Sue's journey serves as a beacon of inspiration, reminding artists everywhere of the transformative power of creativity and the enduring beauty of the natural world. Her evolving artistic path promises to leave an indelible mark on the art world, fuelled by her unwavering passion for the wild and her commitment to capturing its essence in every stroke.

Studio Details

Briefly describe your studio space (is it in your home, shed, farm etc, is it filled with light, is it tiny or cavernous?) & can you provide a taste of what visitors will see and experience there?

Nestled within acreage, just 12 minutes from Dunsborough, my purpose-designed art studio emerges as a sanctuary amidst lush gardens and wild bushland. Surrounded by the natural beauty of native orchids, grass trees, and towering gum trees, my studio becomes a haven where creativity thrives in harmony with nature.

Crafted with precision despite its modest size, the studio caters perfectly to my artistic process. Flooded with natural light through large windows, my workspace is bathed in the ever-changing hues of the surrounding landscape, fostering a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor environments.

While I work, the gentle melodies of birdlife and the occasional rustle of nearby kangaroos provide a soothing rhythm, grounding me in the present moment and strengthening my connection to the land. Enveloped by the sights, sounds, and scents of the natural world, I find boundless inspiration, each brushstroke a testament to the beauty that envelops me.

Within this tranquil oasis, my creativity blossoms, nourished by the raw energy of the Australian landscape. Here, amidst the vibrant tapestry of flora and fauna, my art truly comes to life.
