Marshall named Artist of the Month

Sue Marshall has been selected as the Tsuga Gallery Artist of the Month for July. Sue is a semi-abstract, mixed-media artist who started painting approximately five years ago. She uses acrylic paint and acrylic inks, both on canvas and paper, to explore emotion, feelings, and real-life experiences. Although she does dabble in realism, Sue feels her creative calling lies in the unusual, even wonky, abstract world. Her focus is bold colors, mark-making, and thinking "outside the box." Most of Sue's work is filled with symbolism, and she tries to connect with her audience through life experience, emotion, and her faith.

Sue retired from a career in criminal justice eight years ago and moved to Cathlamet to enjoy fishing, kayaking, rock hounding, and hiking with her late husband. Stop by Tsuga Gallery to see Sue's one-of-a-kind creations. You can also see Sue's art on her Instagram page (@sue.marshallart). Tsuga Gallery is located at 70 Main St. in Cathlamet and is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
