Kind Words of our Customers
I bought the stunning ‘Winter’s Dusk at the Marina’ print as a house- warming gift for 2 Corkonians living abroad. They absolutely love it!
Sue was so helpful throughout the whole process. When there was a slight delay with the delivery date, she personally contacted the delivery company to make sure that the print arrived safely. I’ll definitely return to purchase more prints to remind us of favourite Cork locations that hold great memories for us from over the years.

“Sue’s art is absolutely beautiful. We have two of her prints and they are the centre pieces of our living room. We have also gifted Sue’s prints to family and they have loved them too."
Rose Kelleher
We gave a gift to our daughter and her fiancée of the piece “There is always another path”, and they loved it. Their first home was on the Mardyke during Covid so that was their daily walk for a long time. The colours in the piece are stunning and it is beautifully framed. Sue was a pleasure to deal with.
Judy Johnson
“I recently bought the most beautiful Framed print of A Walk through Trinity for my Daughters Graduation from Trinity College. I ordered online and was informed by email and regularly updated whilst in Transit. It arrived 5 Days after ordering and was absolutely magnificent, the colours are so Vibrant. I would definitely recommend Sue Nelson Art and will def purchase more Art Work from her x Thank you Sue"
Jayne Bolster
“"Life is in the Journey” is such a beautiful piece, even more stunning in person! The colours are vibrant, the framing is perfect, and it’s clear how much care and emotion went into Sue’s work. Sue was an absolute pleasure to deal with, so friendly, communicative, and thoughtful about delivery. A true sweetheart and a wonderfully talented artist. Couldn’t recommend Sue Nelson Designs more highly!"
Donal O Connell
“We emigrated to the US many years ago but I was born and raised in Cork. When I found Sue’s beautiful piece on the Shakey Bridge, I immediately fell in love with it! It brought back such wonderful memories of happy hours spent playing in Fitzgerald Park with my brothers and sisters."
Norma Cronin, Philidephia
"I saw Sue's work at the Ballymaloe Craft Fair and was drawn it straight away, especially 'Life is in the Journey'. It was so striking, full of colour and character but still unmistakably Cork. I dropped some hints and was lucky enough to receive it as a gift!
When family visited from Australia, it immediately caught their eye. With their trip coming to an end, we contacted Sue and she couldn't have been more helpful. She personally delivered the piece before their flight left for Melbourne and is now proudly hanging in their home. Sue's work is fantastic, vibrant and full of life. A treasured addition to our home and now all the way across the world in Australia."
Tina Carroll, Cork
"I saw Sue's Work in Adare Manor, and it was just beautiful. I immediately thought one of her large pieces would be perfect as a wedding present for my sister, who was getting married there. I contacted Sue and she was so helpful co-ordinating with Adare Manor and arranging delivery. My sister absolutely loved it!"
Amanda O'Callaghan, Dublin
“We recently purchased the 'Sounds of the City' which beautifully captures my husband’s favourite view of Cork. Shortly afterwards I was gifted “Stormy Seas” from the fantastic Circle Collection. The dramatic colours really enhance the space and we love both pieces."
Carol Cavanagh, Carrigaline
“I met Sue at the Ballymaloe Craft fair in November and commissioned a special gift for our son and his girlfriend of the Bulman Bar in Kinsale, where they had their first date. What Sue created blew us away, it was just Wow! and was a wonderful Christmas gift."
Ann Cronin, Glanmire
"I bought two of Sue's gorgeous photography prints as Christmas presents, but couldn't bare to part with both, so ended up keeping one for myself!
I'm always impressed by Sue's talent and creativity, and as she adds more images to her collection, I'll be happily planning my next acquisition. They are simply beautiful framed images of some lovely Irish places, and particularly her native Cork, a great gift for anyone including myself."
Lisa O'Brien, Carrigtohill
“I bought Sue’s Crosshaven piece as it just stopped me in my tracks when I saw it. Crosshaven was where I used to meet a close friend while she was going through cancer treatment. We’d sit, talk, and laugh about old times. She passed away not long after, and I miss her terribly. This photograph, it’s not just a picture, it brings her back to me. I'm so grateful for it."
Linda O'Neill, Crosshaven
“I bought a photo of the Shakey Bridge as a Father’s day present as it’s somewhere that means a lot for my Dad and I. It’s so beautiful and brought me straight back to walking there with him every weekend during Covid.
My Dad absolutely loved it just as much as I did!"
Claire O'Flynn, Cork
"I came across Sue’s work at the Ballymaloe Craft Fair and was loved her work. She told me the story behind the piece I liked, and it made me see it differently. It wasn’t just about the view, it was about memory and a feeling. That photo is now in our kitchen and every guest who sees it ends up asking about it."
Mary O'Sullivan, Cork
"Living abroad, I really miss home and the old familiar places. When I saw Sue’s piece of Shandon, 'Sounds of the City' I really liked it. It now sits above my desk and just gives me that sense of being back home again."
Michael O’Sullivan, London
"We first saw Sue at the Glucksman Craft Fair and loved her work, we'd never seen anything like it. I've brought three of Sue's pieces to date for myself. I've also bought for friends and family as they make beautiful gifts"
Amy Neville, Blackrock
"It was such a pleasure working with Sue on this special commission for our wedding anniversary. We're thrilled with the finished painting which is now the focal point of our home. Sue is such a talented artist, and we look forward to adding more pieces to our collection."
Tracy Daly, Cork
"I commissioned a large painting from Sue for my newly refurbished home. I wanted the painting to show the rugged Irish landscape of rolling hills and wild seas. Sue captured exactly what I was looking for and I'm so delighted with the result. I highly recommend you seek out Sue for your special and unique piece of art."
Tara O'Leary, Cobh, Cork.
"I recently commissioned a painting from Sue as a present for my husband. Sue worked tirelessly to capture the magic of a place which is very special to us. Sue also ensured the colours were in keeping with our own decor so the painting fits perfectly into the space. Fantastic memories come to us whenever we look at our painting. Sue is a very talented artist."
Deirdre Looney, Kerry.
“I bought Sue’s beautiful print of the Ballycotton Cliff Walk and it brought me right back to those lockdown days when our only escape was the fresh air and being outside. We walked it as a family a lot during Covid, wrapped up in coats, just grateful to be outside together. That photo now hangs in our sitting room and it’s full of quiet memories."
Grainne O'Carroll, Ballycotton
While visiting the Ballymaloe Christmas Market last year, I was immediately drawn to Sue’s beautiful work, especially the piece titled "Life is the Journey". It was so striking: full of colour and character, yet still unmistakably Cork. The “Shakey Bridge” had never looked so unique, captured in such a joyful, recognisable way. I dropped a few hints, and was thrilled to receive the print as a gift not long after!
When my sister-in-law visited from Australia, the artwork caught her eye straight away. She asked where I’d found it, and with her trip coming to an end, we didn’t have time to order online. We reached out to Sue directly, and she couldn’t have been more helpful, meeting us in person to hand over a framed print before the flight back to Melbourne. It’s already hanging proudly in her home.
Sue’s work is fantastic, vibrant, full of life, and a real celebration of place. Her pieces bring warmth and colour to any space, a treasured addition both to our home here in Cork and now all the way across the world in Australia.
Tina Carroll
Sue’s work first came to my attention when I saw some prints she had done of the Adare Manor. I loved the style of her pieces, particularly the vibrant colours used. I contacted Sue by email to enquire about commissioning a painting of Ballymaloe House for a wedding present. Many conversations later she helped us decide on an oil painting which would reflect the style and vibrancy of the work that first took my eye. Sue could not have been more helpful throughout the process, asking questions to elicit exactly what we wanted and sending updates of the work to ensure we stayed on the right track. When the painting was completed, she had it framed to a quality that matched her own work. The recipients were blown away by their beautiful gift…and we could not recommend Sue highly enough!
Mary O’ Gorman
I purchased two prints from Sue, “Life is in the Journey” and “Sounds of the City I”. I loved the style of the pieces and the vibrant colours. Both pieces were beautifully framed. Sue was very accommodating. Definitely will be purchasing more art in the future.
Vivienne O Donovan
I bought the most beautiful piece from Sue’s collection. The piece is called “Opportunity Awaits”. It’s from a distinct place in UCC. Every time I look at the piece, it conjures up a nostalgic feeling for me. I love it. It has taken pride of place on my wall. Sue was a dream to deal with. My piece around very promptly after I bought it. Check her work out! She is amazing.
Edel Walsh

Fiona Walsh
“Such a talented artist! We’ve purchased both Sue’s original art and her photos! We absolutely love her work !"
Therese Deane
I had a fantastic experience dealing with Sue Nelson from start to finish. She was so responsive and easy to communicate with, offering great advice on picture size, style and colour. Sue brought the painting to our home and allowed us time to live with it to ensure if it was the right vibe and fit, which we really appreciated. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with, and the whole experience felt relaxed and personal. Delighted to support such a talented Cork artist — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Eileen Leahy

Susan is an amazing artist and delivers upon her promises - package arrived safely and on time!
Randall Hopkins
We had the pleasure of meeting Sue at the Ballymaloe craft fair this year and purchased one of her prints, which is stunning. We had a lovely chat, she’s a talented and interesting person and very unassuming and modest. A few weeks later I needed a last minute Christmas gift and selected another of her prints - I was late for Christmas shipping and after a quick message Sue went out of her way to meet me in Carrigaline to collect in person, above and beyond. Her work is beautiful - so colourful and a different way of seeing different familiar places, well framed and with lovely presentation too - highly recommend!!
Siobhan O' Neill
Sue was great in accommodating a last minute order. Fabulous customer service and met me locally. Couldn’t recommend enough, very genuine talented artist
Ciara Cooke

Ciara Kelly
I ordered a print online from Sue as a birthday present for my partner. Sue was fabulous to deal with and the gift was wrapped beautifully. I hadn’t seen the artwork in real life until it was opened. It was even more stunning in real life. I highly recommend Sue and I will definitely be purchasing more art work in the future.
