When artist Sue Sneddon moved to Shallotte Point from Durham, NC in the spring of 2003, a childhood dream of living near the ocean finally came true. Another dream—to have an art studio in close proximity to water—also came true. The Brunswick County beaches, rivers, and marshes provide endless inspiration for Sneddon’s paintings and drawings, and some of her most recent work is now on display at the Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash, NC. grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania, but became familiar with the Myrtle Beach area on family vacations in the 1960s and ‘70s. In 1976, after college, she stopped in Durham, NC on her way to live at the coast and somehow ended up there for the next 27 years. But from that home base she travelled to every coastal town in North Carolina, from Corolla to Sunset Beach. Although she still enjoys visiting all the different islands and sound-front towns on her travels delivering paintings to galleries, Brunswick County proved to be the best place for her to finally settle.Over the past 37 years Sneddon’s work has continually evolved, and she looks forward to many more years of productivity in her Shallotte River studio. The southeastern area of North Carolina is full of the natural beauty that draws her attention, and Sneddon is committed to capturing as much of it as possible—the water, the sky, the light, the trees and birds, the reflections.
