About Sue Clancy

​

Sue Clancy has a serious paper habit; she creates handmade paper, marbles it or uses other techniques to create patterns and texture on the paper.  Using the finished paper she cuts out shapes and collages them into bold, carefully designed, visual stories.  Sue’s inspired by daily life: food, drink, literature, science, culture, pets and people. Imaginative word play is her glue.   Upon receiving her BFA in Art from The University of Oklahoma, she embarked on a lifelong educational program of reading, traveling, listening to people and passing what she experiences through her imagination and putting it on paper.
