Sue Pickering is an artist, designer and maker. After choosing the 'sensible option' of a career as a cognitive psychologist, she worked as a university lecturer and researcher, until the time came when she could finally pursue her interest in art and design. She studied for a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at Bristol School of Art, passing the course with distinction in 2010. Since then, she has been working on her own mixed-media art practice. Her work aims to capture the beauty and complexity of our everyday experiences.
