A watercolourist, Sue Kalab’s work is a soft realism, a ‘cultivated rusticity’.
Sue was an artist for twelve years in Mallacoota, a fishing village in Croajingolong National Park in Victoria on the south-east corner of the continent. There she came to specialize in art of Australia’s nature, her work a response to the natural images she found in bush walks and beach wanders. During the 1990s Sue also lived and worked as an artist on an Aboriginal community in the Pilbara before coming to Bunbury in 1995 where she established her studio.
Sue’s most recent exhibition was “Songs for My Country – Orchids, Birds, Bush and Beach” in July. Held in the rolling hills of the Ferguson Valley at Ferguson Farmstay near Bunbury, the exhibition was a little about our carbon footprint and a lot about Sue’s delight in the natural world …..
