Beskrivning
Sue Bird was always painting: botanical art, landscapes, still lifes, and especially the sea. She took classes, kept countless sketchbooks, and filled the house with art. From their neighbourhood to their family trips, all the moments of her life were memorialised in her artwork. Throughout her life, she never sold a piece - she gave art to family and friends, and shared her work online, but never received wider recognition for her work. This graphic novel by her son, Tim Bird, explores their family life and her creative explorations through a mix of her paintings and Tim's comics, depicting their relationship and her life from teenagehood to her struggle with cancer at the height of the covid pandemic. After her death, this graphic novel at last showcases her work. At its heart a book about creativity and family relationships, Adrift on a Painted Sea tells a story about the things we overlook in the people closest to us.

Recensioner i media

"A lovely, kind, honest piece of work. Sensitive and true." - Luke Healy, author of The Con Artists"This is such a beautiful and touching work about the persistent power of love, the mirrors of memory and the endless narratives of the sea. When I'd read it I had to stop what I was doing and gaze out of the window for a while until my soul stopped trembling." - Ian McMillan, BBC Radio
