Artist’s Statement
Creating my artwork with various media is my favorite thing to do!  Having studied so many different ones in college, I love to experiment with them all.  Lately I’ve been doing a lot of digital photo collage. It’s challenging and there are so many options.  Each layer has its own set of opportunities and variations.  Come follow along with me as I explore it.
Most of my work is about nature, our connection with it and our responsibilities to it.  Being faithful to the earth is so important. 
I am intrigued by the artwork of Anselm Keiffer and Robert Rauschenberg.  Their work inspires me to keep experimenting​
 Bio
  Although in Texas for most of my life, I was born ia Yankee in Alma, Michigan, Sue was always drawing and painting as a child, often sketching in the woods near her home. She began studying with the professors at Alma College while still in Jr. High.  While achieving a B. A. in Studio Art at Michigan State University, her artwork grew from realistic to abstract. Although her area of emphasis was painting, she enjoyed the many media offered, including printmaking, pottery and photography. Sue continued her art education on the graduate level at Carnegie Mellon University, Penn State, Michigan State and Northern Virginia University. 
Sue has belonged to many art organizations and groups, finding that mutual interests and support help an artist to grow and expand ideas as well as help new artists join the arts community.  When first in Texas, the art groups were all in Houston, so she and a couple of artists in the northwest area of Harris County began to discuss the need for a local art league.  They formed the Visual Arts Alliance of Northwest Harris County, now known as simply Visual Arts Alliance, a vibrant group in Houston.  She has held many board positions in art groups, including President of Visual Arts Alliance, PR for WIVLA,  etc. Currently she is a board member of The Woodlands Arts Council, bring art and culture to The Woodlands, TX.
Sue has lived in many cities across the US and has enjoyed traveling around the world, photographing and studying the arts and culture of each land.  Her work reflects the journeys she has taken and her love of nature.  She  works both in digital photo collage and in abstract acrylics  on canvas.  Sue Burke Harrington’s artwork has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums around the country and abroad, including the Art are Museum, Jung Center, the Goethe Institute, the Museum of the American West, The Albuquerque Museum, Michelle D.
