About Su Jolly
I am a New Zealand born Artist living at the foot of the Kent Downs in the UK.
My work is primarily inspired by the natural beauty of my birth and adopted homes, and I'm often to be found when out and about, stopped at some viewpoint or other taking photos of a special view,or play of light. I am drawn to liminal times and places, sunrise, sunset, ancient stones, water, storms, mist and memory, the places in between..
This Blog is where I share my musings about my process.
Collector Testimonials
Margaret Leighton
Art Collector
"I love your work, it speaks to me, your landscapes and your style of watercolours. As an artist myself, once, I found watercolours hard to master, so I appreciate your talent and the two pieces that hang in my lounge !"
Julie Winnard
Art Lover
"Su paints wonderfully atmospheric pieces, from to quirky buildings spotted on her explorations by bike, to broad coastal vistas from her dual homes of the UK and NZ. She is adept at capturing the subtle light and varying reflective moods of the land around her in different weathers, and I am so pleased to be able to give one of her prints a home on our walls.
"It's the sort of work you can look at for hours and still feel you are seeing new details or different aspects of the landscape she has captured."
Amanda Renske-Mann
Artist and Photographer
"Su's beautiful watercolour of beach pebbles is so serene, it is the perfect image for my treatment room. All her paintings have a sense of nature's wonder and a harmonious blend of colour and form.
Her eye is drawn to details in the landscape and whatever she paints has a sensitive intimate feel."
Collaborations
I love to work from Reference images and particularly value collaborations with other Artists, like Photographer Michael Marsh, below.
If I collaborate with you, I will always credit you when the finished work is published, and, should the painting be successful, I will send you either a hi res image, or a signed Giclee Print of the finished work.
"Su Jolly is a very talented artist, I was very pleased when she contacted me requesting to paint one of my photos of the beach huts at Seasalter, Whitstable in Kent.
I was delighted when Su sent me a signed copy that now hangs on my office wall, she has a delicate style with very pleasing tones that draws you in to the scene, as if you were there soaking up the atmosphere and feeling as one with the landscape."
