Sue Kalab is a watercolour artist specializing in Australian nature My art is a philosophy, a compulsion that can’t be denied. it's a gift, a calling. It is the art of beauty found in Australian Nature. I make art that doesn’t shout for attention - just like our natural world. After all these years I find myself still seeking the mysteries: Nature and our place on Earth. I seek the beauty, the indescribable, the ineffable. This is what I do as an artist. A Song for Trees & Rain
"Be still my heart, these great trees are prayers" (Rabindranath Tagore). "The Earth is alive, planetary spirit life. All of life is one organism ... the chain of being is larger, bigger more encompassing ... a greater wholeness". Decorated with paperbark and lichen the nest is small, 2.5 cms.

Emeritus Dean Stewart MacPherson places Sue’s art in the company of Henry David Thoreau and the "showings" (or revelations) of Julian of Norwich, and that Sue’s art "captures the essence of the glory of nature. See REVIEW
