"Abby"
Sue Jones is a UK born artist hailing from the county of Shropshire, who this year won the SAA’s coveted June Atherton Award for beginners. Her achievement in landing this international award was made all the more surprising for her by the fact that she is a self taught artist who hadn’t even touched a pastel, or indeed any other medium, until two years ago.

Sue specialises in paintings of wildlife animals and domestic pets, and is hoping that her art will one day allow her to wave goodbye to the day job.
