Sue Kershaw is currently spending time in the gallery during the North Yorkshire Open Studios. She is a mosaic artist who seeks to capture the flow and consequence of emotions throughout her abstract works. Passion, love, joy, confusion, empathy and karma are all explored.

Each design features 100′s to 1000′s of intricate hand-cut pieces known as tesserae including shards of teacups made from Ganges clay collected in Varanasi, India to seashore glass from Palermo, Sicily. Gold leaf Italian smalti, sicis glass and French porcelain are also strongly present.

Sue facilitates school and adult workshops and community art projects; and works to commission from her studio based in Ryedale, North Yorkshire. Sue has exhibited widely including: Leeds City Gallery; The Ferens (Hull City Gallery); The Biscuit Factory, Newcastle; York Hospital; and, York University.
