Watercolour artist and author
Watercolour artist, creating paintings, greetings cards and other gifts, by Sue Edwards, in Uckfield, East Sussex. Inspired by the wonders of nature, beautiful landscapes, engineering and family history.
Watercolour Artist
Wildlife, animals, plants, and landscapes, are the inspiration I watch out for, when I’m out and about, online, or in print.
So, when something catches my eye, I add it to my picture bank, ready for a future painting.
I love detail, and I enjoy a challenge!
I work from home, and at two local groups – the Uckfield Art Group and the Uckfield U3A art group.
Author
I wrote, created and self-published Memoirs of a WAAF, in 2015.
About
The book is about daily life in the WAAF in 1942, created from diaries that my dear late Mum, Daphne Dangerfield, wrote, every day, in secret, while stationed at Bradwell Bay in Essex, during World War 2.
The book (Kindle) is available to buy from Amazon. There is a waiting list for the paperback version. If you would like a copy please contact me (see below).

My Background
I’ve always enjoyed art and painting, which comes from my Mum’s side of the family (her father was an artist and architect). She was always quite modest about her work, but she sold quite a lot of her paintings in her time (watercolours and oils). I fondly remember the smell of oil paints, turps and varnish (I can smell it now!) when she was painting at home.
Retirement
Although I dabbled with art when I was at school, the teacher we had wasn’t encouraging, so it never came to anything. It was only when I semi-retired (2024-25), with more time to spare, that I started painting again. Thankfully I still had my old paints, and, together with those inherited from my dear Mum (who very sadly passed away in 2017), all this encouraged me to start up again. I’m so glad I did!
Then I joined a small art group in Uckfield. When it was time to move on, I joined Uckfield Art Group at the end of 2025, which I still attend today. Since then the opportunities have grown, and so have my skills.
I’m mostly self-taught, with a few sessions at Uckfield Adult Education evening classes.
