Sue Lewington is working as our artist in residence to capture the transformation of the derelict stables through this construction year to the completion of the newly renovated Gardeners’ House building.
Her unique observations bring to life and record the whole process from cobwebs and broken windows to what will be an inspiring and creative community hub.
Sue’s beautiful works will be collected into a book chronicling this fascinating journey and will also form part of our living archive that will grow and be added to year on year by the local community.
After studying at Harrow School of Art in the 1960s, Sue worked as a freelance illustrator. She moved to Cornwall in 1975, teaching printmaking at Penzance School of Art. In 1989 she moved to St Martins on the Isles of Scilly where she had her own gallery. Since 2006 she has lived in West Penwith.
Her ink-and-watercolour sketches of local scenes are very popular. A large number of her journals and sketches have been published in book form and are widely available in bookshops and art galleries throughout Cornwall and Devon.
