Introducing Sue Ellibee

Welcome to for the 2026 Season

We’re thrilled to introduce a fresh perspective for 2026 at Plum Bottom Gallery—mixed media collage artwork by Sue Ellibee. Known for her thoughtful compositions and rich textures, Sue’s work brings a modern yet timeless interpretation of the natural landscape to our Door County art collection.

If you love one-of-a-kind artwork inspired by nature, layered with texture and story, you’ll want to experience this collection in person.

A Fresh Take on Nature-Inspired Collage Art

Sue Ellibee’s collage work is an extension of her lifelong background in graphic design. Her trained eye for composition, balance, and color shines through in every piece. Instead of simply recreating nature, Sue distills it—simplifying forms, emphasizing color relationships, and building texture in a way that feels both grounded and contemporary.

Each piece begins with hand-painted papers and textures she creates herself—often using recycled grocery-store bags and kraft paper backgrounds. These materials become her visual vocabulary. By layering thinner papers over textured foundations, Sue builds depth and movement that draw you in from across the room.

The result? Landscape-inspired collage artwork that feels organic, calming, and beautifully sophisticated.

Why Sue Ellibee’s Work Is Perfect for 2026 Interiors

As we head into the 2026 season, we’re seeing continued demand for:

• Textural wall art

• Neutral palettes with depth

• Nature-inspired décor

• Sustainable, eco-conscious art materials

• One-of-a-kind statement pieces

Sue’s work checks every box.

Her use of recycled materials adds an eco-friendly element that today’s collectors appreciate. The layered surfaces create warmth without overpowering a space. And because each piece is handmade and original, no two are ever alike.

Whether you’re updating a lake home in Door County, refreshing a primary residence, or searching for a meaningful gift, Sue Ellibee’s collage art offers something truly distinctive.

The Power of Texture and Simplicity

One of the most compelling aspects of Sue’s work is how she simplifies complex landscapes into harmonious compositions. Instead of overwhelming detail, you’ll find intentional color blocking, soft transitions, and tactile surfaces.

This makes her artwork especially versatile for:

• Coastal-inspired interiors

• Modern farmhouse spaces

• Transitional design styles

• Serene bedrooms and living rooms

• Statement art for entryways

Her pieces invite you to pause. To look closer. To notice the subtle textures created from layered paper and paint.
