Since 2013, Sue has been painting the sea surrounding Kudaka Island, a remote island in Okinawa. Her latest works are inspired by Niraikanai, a mythical paradise believed in Okinawan folklore to lie beyond the eastern sea—a sacred place where life originates and ultimately returns.

This exhibition will feature and offer for sale a selection of new works created in contemplation of this spiritual journey.
