Sue Bulmer is a Nottingham based artist who focus the theme of home, family and love and illustrates them into simple yet detailed black and white images. The idea of the birds, trees and bird houses stems from her living on a farm when she was young and would sketch her parents chickens and her love of nature, the natural landscape and the natural world and its changing colours and textures of the seasons. She is also greatly inspired by her 200 year old cottage and the comfort and sentimentallity of home and famliy. Originally Bulmer studied pharmacy at Nottingham Trent Uni and stayed in pharmacy for 15 years, but couldn't get away from her creative roots and in 2005 she took a foundation course in art & design which helped develop her technique and creative skills.
Bulmer uses ink pen to draw her design then scans them into a PC and digitally prints them. Bulmers work includes prints on ceramic tiles, tea towels, greeting cards and in frames.
I would love to see these on tote bags and as t-shirt designs, as they are simple and have a peaceful feel to them and would sell for quite a but of money. I have always loved painting and drawing in black medium but sometimes can make a pieces a little boring, but Bulmer cleverly adds just enough detail to make the piece interesting and appealing to look at.
