Sue Prince, Contemporary Folk Artist

Sue Prince is a contemporary British folk artist creating folk art paintings in traditional egg tempera (inspired by Swedish folk art)- it's like folk music only paint! On an organic farm in the Peak District National Park UK. (Sue Prince Artist is a trading name for Beechenhill Artworks Ltd.)

Sue tells stories, responding to current events including the COVID-19 pandemic, celebrating rural life and commenting on our society. She makes her own egg tempera paint, a technique learned in Sweden where she has helped revive this form in its native place.

Community folk art projects have become an important part of her work. From a Swedish Saga with 25 participants to the history of Ashbourne with over 170 participants, she uses folk art to empower groups and communities to tell their own shared stories. The resultant art works become treasured heirlooms for the communities. On 26th January 2020 Sue appeared on BBC Countryfile preparing her community painting for Bamford in the Peak District National Park.

She recorded her experiences in lockdown at Beechenhill Farm with a daily painting which is now a book, a collection of prints: Click to see here Isolation Chronicles on the New Work page.

Sue is based at her family's organic dairy farm in the southern Peak District National Park where they also offer three award winning holiday cottages and a restored Haybarn venue for courses and exhibitions.

Lockdown Buy-and-Send!
