Step into Squiggly Sue Designs, and you step straight into the heart of Derbyshire — its trees, wildlife, colours, and quiet magic — all filtered through the playful, quirk-touched watercolours of Sue, the artist behind the name.
Sue has been painting since she could hold a brush, a lifelong maker of colour and shape, turning imagination into something you can hang on a wall. For the past decade she’s been painting professionally, refining her unmistakable style: vibrant washes of colour layered with silhouettes, woodland shapes, and the soft, steady presence of British wildlife. Deer appear often, standing like guardians at the edge of her bright dreamscapes.
Her studio is her beloved “shedquarters,” a log cabin tucked into the garden — a cosy little sanctuary where endless cups of tea and generous slices of cake keep the brushes moving. Beyond those walls lies the Peak District, where she wanders with her dog Pippin, letting the hills, trees, and shifting weather feed her imagination.
Every piece Sue creates carries a touch of whimsy and a deep love for the natural world.
Her work doesn’t just depict landscapes — it glows with them.
Joyful, warm, a little quirky, and always unmistakably hers.
