Sue St.John has been painting for more than forty years. Like many Midwest artists, she began with painting rural landscapes, barns and flowers in oil. Having lived for several years in the beautiful hills of Brown County Indiana, this was natural. Over the years Sue began working more in watercolors and moving toward more abstract paintings. She found the challenge of watercolors and abstracts to be a wonderful outlet for her creative talents. She loves abstract art where color flows freely giving the effect of stained-glass colors. “We who create are very blessed to put something into this world that is totally and uniquely us,” she says. “It completes the circle to be able to share it.” Sue is a Signature Artist Member of the American Watercolor Society and the Kentucky Watercolor Society.
