Sue Wallace  started dabbling with mosaics about 15 years ago after attending a weekend workshop. She  was hooked and “there was no looking back for me – I absolutely loved it and haven’t stopped creating since”.

Sue lives rurally in Okaihau on a lifestyle block and gets inspiration from the farmland, coastline, animals, birds, plants and her  garden where she have a number of mosaics displayed. She likes to work with old china and recycled products, ceramic, glass, stained glass and glass beads.

“I work from home and am in the process of building and setting-up a new studio where I can offer lessons and workshops from. I have previously sold mosaics at local markets and when time permits I go to markets and fairs in Whangarei and Auckland. I now concentrate on on-line sales.

“I am passionate about mosaics and creating something for someone to treasure. I love every aspect and feel very content when working on a commission.”

Sue will be exhibiting at Little Black Gallery during KOAST as part of Rhythm of the North, an exhibition designed to celebrate KOAST - Tai Tokerau Art Trail and our Northland artists.
