At the age of five years, Sue Boswell’s artwork was entered in the County Fair at Pomona, California. Since these early days, her life has been clearly marked with a passion for creative expression. For her, art is a form of praising God … an appreciation for His creation. “When I paint, I actually transcend into what I am painting,” Sue explains. Sue grew up in Southern California and has spent time in England, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and has lived in Idaho for the past 17 years. Mountains, oceans and wildlife are among her favorite subjects. Sue completed Art Instruction School wile in her teens. Sue's specialty began in pencil and pastel portraits. She sold portraits of her favorite group,the Beatles, while in High School. She then started in oils and watercolor, acrylic, charcoal and ink. At this time, watercolor is her preferred medium. Using an extensive amount of pigment to bring out extreme color depth is her trademark. The end result is a watercolor with so much detail that many believe it to be an oil painting. Her technique combines realism and impressionism creating an almost mystical experience. Among other instructors, Sue has taken classes from renowned artist, Roland Giampaoli. She has earned awards at art shows and fairs. She displays some of her work at Donterra Gallery, Sisters, Oregon.
