SUE TAIT
Artist Bio
Sue Tait is a contemporary Scottish painter working at Coburg House studios in Edinburgh. She developed her love of colour in Botswana where she started a small mud hut knitting business. She trained as a painter at Leith School of Art graduating in 2009.
In 2010 she was awarded the prestigious Anne Redpath prize for 'A Posy' at the RSA Visual Arts Scotland Exhibition.
"In her vivacity, Sue Tait has discovered colour; a colour which does not simply decorate, amuse or scintillate but which somehow expresses the inner meaning of her subjects. She delights in the pure materiality of things and echoes it in the sumptuous textures, transclucency and richness of her pictures. They are a joyful splash of life seen through her intuitive and uninhibited expressiveness."
