WINGS OF THE MORNING in 2009
Jarrah, Djiti-djitis & Jerusalem
This collection brings a new direction for Sue’s style with her experiences of two recent pilgrimages to the Holy Land. In pictorial form it shows a variety of encounters there, and the timelessness of Sue’s beloved Australian nature – an inexplicable nexus. Fresh, modern and not tied to a particular moment of time, the intermingling of ideas invites a fascination and intrigue to the audience of art and nature lovers.

A SONG FOR TREES & RAIN in 2008
Music for the Eyes from the Natural Dimension
This exhibition brings creatures to life, with Kalab’s proficiency in watercolours clear in the transitions, from evoking a coarse banksia pod to the softness of kangaroo fur. ….. Her experiences are included in an accompanying art journal, with her love of the local magpie population ….. observing for 10 years, identifying and taking down their stories.
Louise Bettison, “Nature Inspires”, Western Weekly

SONGS OF THE BUSH & BUSH in 2006
Music for the Eyes
Close observation and a deep affinity for our natural wonders finds its way through Sue’s paintbrush and emanates from the paper with a love of our everyday flora and fauna, depicting not nature at its most perfect but at its most natural – a tattered leaf, a ruffled feather or a warbling magpie. Opening night heralded an environmental reminder from Dr. Sandra Wooltorton as she opened the show by emphasising Sue’s message to treat lightly on the earth and of finding belonging in establishing a true sense of place through an awareness of our surroundings and our impact upon them. Her talk was echoed poetically by a talkative frog quacking cheekily throughout, much to the delight of the environmentally inspired crowd.
Naomie Hatherley, Director, Mullalyup Gallery
