Sue Law

After selling her successful business in Cambridge, Sue began her artistic journey. A foundation course led to a BA at Winchester School of Art and an MA at Norwich University of the Arts. Back in Cambridge Sue joined Cambridge Artworks where she had a studio with 17 other artists.

In December 2024 she finished setting up a new studio at her home in Ely, Cambridgeshire where she is happy to greet visitors (by appointment or at Cambridge Open Studios)

Sue has been working on a series of sculptures on the effects of Climate Change on the bird population of Britain. These sculptures of birds are covered with text ‘feathers’ -details of the lives of the birds.

​Other recent works also deal with the topic of Climate Change. Often using ‘Crossed Letters’, a method of saving paper first used at the beginning of the postal system – Sue repeats the words until it is almost impossible to read the text, this seems appropriate as many people do not seem to be listening to the warnings on climate change! These sculptures frequently include quotes from celebrities on this topic.

Sue has a fascination with process and the road that a new artwork takes towards completion.

Sue’s bronze sculptures show a flash of a face, drawn with a zig zag of metal but still with the essence of the person pictured.

Negative space, Absence and Presence are recurring themes in Sue’s work; she has used plaster, bronze and perspex to explore these themes.
