Memories Painted On Stone, Motor Boat And Fiahing Hat
Clients bring me items and photos that mean something personal to them. In this case I painted a favorite motor boat and fishing hat to memorialize a loved one. The hat is painted in trompe l'oeil style as if is sitting atop the detailed painting of the boat. This stone has a 16 inch diameter. Every piece I do is hand painted and unique.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am Sue Banks, a self-taught artist who works in craft acrylics, usually on surfaces that do not require framing, such as furniture, household objects, and stones. I work on anything from vintage pieces to unfinished new items. Many of the projects shown here are examples of past work. Each project is always unique, and most are custom ordered. I work on items supplied by the client or on items procured in conjunction with a client’s request. I specialize in re-purposing items by decorating them with acrylic paint in hyper-realism and Trompe L'oeil style. I paint a very wide range of subject matter from flowers to stones to animals and insects to sneakers to teacups. My work is intensely colored, detail oriented and joyful. I work from actual objects and photos which are often supplied by the client, to create works to a client’s specifications. Working from reality is most effective for trompe l’oeil designs.
