Welcome Sue To Chainsaw Shed



This is Sue. She is our photo of the month. She is one talented artist. Check her out on our webpage http://www.chainsawshed.com/pages/ChainsawCarvers/SueO'Sullivan.html


Sue O'Sullivan - Sue's talent can be seen on her web site www.renaissancegirlartwork.com, in addition to Sue's chainsaw woodcarvings, she makes ice carvings, and has many canvas and bone art as well. Way to go Sue! Born and raised in Clanfield, England, Sue emigrated to the United States to pursue a career as a Racehorse Jockey in 1986 at the age of 16.  Already having a love and background in art, she would spend her free time sketching the racehorses she rode at the track following them from Florida in the winter, to New England in the summer.
Teaching herself about acrylics, she began to paint the horses, wildlife and scenery that surrounded her.  Her love of nature, the outdoors and animals has been Sue's number one inspiration.
As the years went by, her love and knowledge of everything art expanded with her curiosity and now Sue excels in every medium from Pencil, pyrography to pen and ink, acrylics and water colours. From snow and ice sculpture to the exciting sport of chainsaw carving.  There is nothing Sue isn't willing to master to become a true Renaissance Girl when it comes to art.
