Susan Pearson Shetland Art

Cliffs from the sea. Acrylic on canvas. In Susan's cliff paintings, she uses colour to capture the shape of distant cliffs as seen from a small boat.

Watercolour paint on watercolour paper. Inspired by picture books and fairy tales, a selection of these prints would looks lovely mounted as a set to tell a story.

Shetlands abandoned croft houses are famous, they even have a Facebook page. A spindly Shetland tree lives in this croft house.

Susan Pearson is a visual artist and illustrator from Whalsay in Shetland, "My art is inspired by island life, from the peat hills, the big skies, stoney beaches and cliffs to the people and the folklore. I find myself attempting to capture my memories and the stories I have heard or read. I like the notion that the figures in my paintings have a story of their own."
