About Me
I am a successful,established artist living in Shropshire.I am now working full time as an artist/art teacher.I also do demonstrations for art clubs and other groups such as WI's which is great fun to do both for me and them!!
I have been painting for some time now, but had to start to make it my full time career after my husband Bill had a heart attack 6 years ago and had to give up his HGV license and also his job.
I love nothing better than to get my brushes out and start creating another painting.
My work has diversed from normal landscapes to abstract work and everything in between over the past few years.
I am in the process of painting several series of paintings-my ''monochrome collection'' which speaks for itself consists mainly of birch tree scenes which have proved very , very popular over the past year and my ''Manic Collection''which consists of brightly coloured designs on a black background.
The latest of this collection "Get A Wobble On" has been featured in Interior design magazine "House and Home Ideas" April 2008 edition.
I work in several different mediums including oil, acrylic and encaustic wax.
I love to paint bright, bold paintings to brighten any wall and I also paint quieter,calmer, more relaxing paintings too!
If you would like to see ANY of my work in more detail please get in touch and I will email you close ups of the work.
I am at my happiest when creating art,to see the painting develop before me is exciting each and every time!
I like to see how the mood takes me and to see what is produced at the end of a session.
All of my work is affordable art with prices starting at just £10 for small encaustic paintings.
If you would like to see ANY of my work in closer detail or from different angles please email or ring me and I can email you more pictures of the work.
If you would like to recieve my regular newsletter which will have the latest paintings and work in progress etc please email me.
Commissions are also one of my favorite things, it is so interesting to see how your ideas and my interpretations of them come together!!
I have a blog in which I put my work in progress, as well as my latest work, its the ups and downs of an artist,the happiness when things go right and the downs when it dosent--which are few and far between thank goodness!!! I try to make it as interesting as possible, and I have a regular following of readers!
