![]() All images copyright Sue Kalab - BirdSong Studio 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, and I make art for people who like to be comfortable, 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. Sue is a calligraphy artist, visit - GALLERY OF CALLIGRAPHY.
She is also a portraitist and pet animal painter, see GALLERY OF PORTRAITS. Visit Sue's ART JOURNAL where she chats about her work. |

To see, to truly see, the infinite in the “ordinary” is a great gift. Artists like Sue bless us by sharing that gift with us.
