Welcome, I'm Sue

I’ve called Cairns home for nearly three years, finding endless inspiration in its breathtaking rainforests, stunning beaches, and vibrant natural beauty. Through drawing, painting, surface pattern design, digital art and photography, I channel the region's patterns and textures into my work, capturing its essence and sharing the magic of nature and creativity with others.

Marble & Ink Magic – Layered Abstract Art Workshop

Flora and Fauna of the Botanic Gardens workshops with Glenis Lawler and Sue Schreiber

Kickstart your creativity with a splash of spontaneity!

In this playful and experimental class, you’ll begin by creating abstract
patterns using marbles and ink. Once your dynamic background is dry,
you'll bring it to life with a second layer—adding your own colourful
design using pen, ink, and imagination. The result? A one-of-a-kind
artwork that’s bold, expressive, and totally you.

No experience needed | Materials provided | Fun for all | Adults Only
