Well-known as an illustrator, SUE LEWINGTON’s books of the Scillies and West Cornwall are avidly collected and enjoyed - her style being instantly recognisable.   During Lockdown, however, Sue experimented with a different way of working – painting what she felt rather than what she saw; using emotive rather than descriptive colours and moving more towards abstraction. This series of work she interprets as ‘Hiraeth’ – “a longing and love for this land, whether in West Penwith, Scilly or Orkney and Shetland”. Sue’s medium is mixed media – incorporating collage, inks and gouache. Framed in deep rugged mouldings with a gold leaf slip, these paintings have a gem-like quality.
