Sue McHugh SBA Fellow
Contemporary Botanical Artist
I started my career over 27 years ago, specialising in foliage and environment art in games and film and I have developed this into a specialism in contemporary watercolour botanical art.
I am a Fellow member of the Society of Botanical Artists , the current ‘Artist in Residence’ at Knowsley Hall and the official artist of Liverpool Botanical Trust. My work has been exhibited with The Royal Society of British Artists in their 2024 exhibition.
I studied a degree in Fine Art at Manchester University, subsequently working as an Artist and art team manager. I enjoy speaking and demonstrating to students at schools, colleges and universities.
I painted botanical art during lockdown 2020, gifting the paintings to key workers. Alongside other fundraising activities, including 3 London Marathons, I have raised over £20,000 for Children With Cancer UK.
