The Artist

Sue began drawing at the age of three and showed distinct artistic talent throughout her childhood. She has studied oil painting, figure drawing, human anatomy and architectural drawing. She has worked for several years as a freelance commercial illustrator doing logotypes, advertising graphics, newspaper and menu illustrations.

Sue lived in Osaka, Japan for two years and apprenticed in tattooing under Rie Mizushima.  She then worked as an independent tattoo artist in Japan before returning to Canada and continuing her work here.

Her artistic influences range from ancient Assyrian stone carving to Japanese anime.
