With a gift of paints from her grandfather, Sue Hains began her painting career at the age of seven. Inspired by the surfaces and forms she observes in nature (she received her BA in Natural History from the University of Colorado), she creates illusions of stone, animals, and plant life which range from highly stylized geometric patterns to photo realism.  

Prior to settling in Georgetown, Texas, she lived and worked in New Jersey, Colorado, Grenada, and Africa. Sue is conversant with numerous surface techniques. Some are strictly paint; others are polished plaster, made from modern mixtures based on the durable stuccos used since ancient times. For details, download PDF.

Her work has been featured on KLRU's "Central Texas Gardener" and in the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin 2007 "Parade of Homes."
