About SUE PODGER
Sue Podger is descended from the early Dutch settlers of the Cape of Good Hope, known as Afrikaners. She is the first of this people to become a Baha'i and her maiden surname is Hofmeyr. She was trained at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in Cape Town. An accomplished watercolourist, she uses a range of styles to portray a sensitive and accurate picture of the years when Baha'u'llah was amongst us. The images of one set of her paintings shown on this website were painted for a hard cover book, 'The Incomparable Friend', a history of the life of Baha'u'llah told in stories, which sold out and was out of print for some years. Shirin Sabri, it's author, and Sue, wishing to see it more widely available, have published it as a free e-book and it has also been republished as a POD hard or softcover book. It was written for young people and the paintings are generally realistic in style to suit them. You can catch a glimpse of Shirin's writing in the text of the descriptions accompanying the paintings here. Most are taken from her book. To obtain the free e-book or the POD reprint, go to https://bahaibooks.com.au/products/incomparable-friend. Another set of paintings belong to a series of four books by Shirin Sabri, being published by George Ronald, with stories of the Baha'i friends in the time of Baha'u'llah. The first two books, 'Companions of the Crimson Ark' and 'Valiant Horsemen of the Merciful', have already been printed, and the last two, 'Hosts of the Seen and the Unseen' and 'Standard Bearers of Love', are yet to come. Here are their illustrations, water colour paintings by Sue Podger. These books can be obtained from the George Ronald website: http://www.grbooks.com/george-ronald-publisher-books/youth/. Many adult Baha'is, seeing much more in them than paintings for children, have expressed the wish to see them as full size paintings. There are around six million Baha'is in the world, so that is quite a potential audience. Both Shirin and Sue are very happy to be able to offer all the paintings as quality prints through Fine Art America.
