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 neighborhood to their family trips¸ all the moments of her life were memorialized 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.
