Sue Pearson is a Norfolk Islander currently living and working in Whangarei.

She has a Bachelor of Visual Arts from Newcastle University in Australia where she graduated in 1988 with a major in printmaking.

After working as a graphic artist in North Queensland and Rarotonga, she started up her own business on Norfolk Island, designing and printing on both paper and textiles for the Aatuti Gallery.

Besides silk-screen printing Sue uses a relief printing technique combined with dyeing. Sue's work is a reflection of her rich heritage and the natural environment of Norfolk Island.

She has been inspired by the richly-coloured fabric designed and printed in Tahiti.

Sue currently produces fabric lengths garments and interior furnishings for export to Norfolk Island, Australia, Hawaii and the USA and is interested in working with NZ product designers.
