Sue McDonagh Artist Studio & Gallery

Sue McDonagh has quite an incredible biography. I recommend that everyone read it before paying her gorgeous little gallery a visit. It will provide a context for meeting the woman, and the work that she creates.
I love the kind of story that Sue’s life has taken on. It is a tale of triumph in the face of adversity of some considerable scale. It is also a narrative that suggests, to me at least, that dynamic forces are at play in our lives, leading us to where we are ‘meant to be’. Sometimes the precursor to this type of life-​changing circumstances can be terrifying and tragic, but the brave will always come through with flying colours. Sue McDonagh has courage by the bucket-​full, and so, unsurprisingly, this untrained artist has hung her work at some of the most prestigious galleries in the UK, including the Mall Galleries in London.
There’s no question that she has a huge talent. Her figurative work is amazing, but it’s her more abstracted seascapes that really talk to me. They are utterly gorgeous.
Sue welcomes commissions of any type. She is a particularly accomplished portraitist, but will also consider commissions for land and seascapes.
