About Susan Hend

Sue was born in Parramatta NSW in 1964 and married with two children. Painting has been her passion since a young child; Sue has been selling her art since she was 15 years old.

Over time finding many different surfaces to be painted on, for example her work van , kitchen cupboards, colour bond fences, gum leaves, canvas and boards of all sizes.

Below are a few examples of Sue's varied art work

Sue paints with oils, acrylic and house paint and has been commissioned to paint paintings and murals for businesses, schools, churches and private residents.

Along with selling paintings to patrons both locally and in many different countries, Sue has spent some time out at the Western Plains Zoo researching and painting animals on the endangered species list and has started what she hopes  to be a series of paintings to try and increase people’s awareness of endangered wildlife.

Sue was working with Aboriginal youth some time ago and learnt about their history and culture. The portrait on the heading is of Clifford Possum a famous Aboriginal artist from Central Australia. The portrait below with no name is of a tribal elder. Approval to show the portraits was gained due to it being against some tribe’s traditions to show pictures of tribal people.
