Sue Massey

British artist

miniature painting on agate: Golden retriever
Actual size 3 inches (7.62cm) diameter

Sue Massey is married with four children and loads of animals - horses, dogs, guinea pigs, cats, fish, etc. She writes:

"I have always painted animals since a very small child and I have an "affinity"with them which comes out in my work. My art is a gift, I have never been taught how to paint. I specialise in portraits of people's pets, horses, etc. I've even done rats on rings. I paint in acrylic and watercolour, on to mother-of-pearl for the jewellery items, or porcelain and agate for the larger items.

Commissions

miniature painting on agate: Tiger
Actual size 4ins x 4.5 ins (10.16cm x 11.4cm)

I require a good clear photograph or set of photographs for commissions, which cost around £ 150, depending on jewellery, size, number of subjects, etc., and around £ 85 for a wildlife or particular breed study on agate, again depending on size.
