Sue Cheer is a surface designer from Dunedin, New Zealand, renowned for her vibrant, colourful patterns that spark joy and celebrate creativity.
With a deep enchantment for nature, Sue’s work often features wildflowers, butterflies, birds, and botanical elements. She blends the nostalgic charm of the Arts & Crafts movement, Art Nouveau, folk art, and fairytales with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic. Her maximalist, richly detailed designs radiate warmth and energy, inviting people to experience a world full of life and beauty.
For Sue, pattern is a form of storytelling—each collection begins with a memory, a line of poetry, or a folktale, inviting the viewer to step into a space where they can make their own connections through colour and pattern. She believes that the art we surround ourselves with reflects who we are, and by embracing what resonates with us, we can create spaces that feel truly like home.
Like fairytales, art is a place to get lost and found. Through her work, Sue encourages others to weave their own stories—whether through quilting, scrapbooking, or simply surrounding themselves with beauty that stirs the heart.
Do you feel this way too?
