Although Sue Hunter was born in the south, she thinks of Arizona as home.  The lovely  desert colors, wide open spaces, and diverse landscapes of the southwest provide her with endless subject matter for her paintings.  Color is an important aspect of Sue’s art which is reflected in her impressionistic style.  “I try to put into my paintings the emotions I feel using color, light and shadow effects to create design.” She works in pastel, oil and watercolor.  Her subjects include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and animals.  She is known for her paintings of roosters.  
Sue graduated from Western International University and has studied art at Scottsdale Artists School, Scottsdale Community College, with local art instructors and has attended numerous workshops locally and in Europe.

Sue is a consistent award winner in juried exhibits and her work is included in many private and public collections.  She is a juried member of Arizona Artists Guild, Arizona Watercolor Association, Degas Pastel Society and is also active in various art organizations.

She teaches classes in watercolor, acrylic, oil and pastel at Paradise Valley Community College, Shemer Art Center, West Valley Art Museum and Terravita Art Club.  Sue also does painting demonstrations at various art groups and judges art shows.
