- Biography
Sue Higginson-Bell is an award-winning artist based in the Scottish Borders. She works mainly in drawing and oil painting and loves to create work inspired by the wild animals and remoter parts of Britain and beyond. She is currently researching a new body of works interlinking ecology, rewilding principles, myths and folklore with the aim of producing art that inspires us to reconnect with our wilder selves and have greater empathy with and understanding of the part we play in nature.
