Sue Gillingham
Sue Gillingham is a professional artist and graphic designer who specializes in wet into wet oil paintings of the sea. She studied her craft at Parsons School of Design and the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale.
A New York native, Sue achieved early success painting murals that can still be seen around her home town of Elmsford, just outside New York City. While there she emersed herself in the museums and art galleries surrounding her. The work of Impressionists became her inspiration.
A love and respect for the force of the ocean was instilled in her when she left the big city and moved to South Florida. Here she was exposed to the rhythm of the sea, which is an ongoing influence in her work.
Sue’s training as a graphic designer creating destination brochures for establishments in Florida and the Caribbean have won her a number of ADDY awards and has transformed her painting style into a unique blend of realism and abstraction with a Pacific style and Caribbean flair.
Sue is a member of the Weston Art Guild. She exhibited her paintings at the Artigras in Jupiter, Florida, Gallery 1310 at Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts, The Weston Public Library and the Art by Design Gallery Show and Silent Auction. Today you can find her work at Islamorada's Art on a Whim, A Fine Art Gallery at the Rain Barrel, 86700 Overseas Hwy, Islamorada, FL 33036.
