Diesel Spill Painting

As a child I spent hours sketching and drawing the things I found around my home up in the wilds of the Cumbrian hills but as life moved on I found I didn’t have the time to paint and draw anymore. I have now been reawakened to the enjoyment of bringing an idea to life and am finding my calling once more. I am a country girl at heart and have always had a love of the flora and fauna found in and around my home and this is where I take my inspiration from. Animals and birds are what I chose to study the most, but I also find enjoyment in a beautiful landscape or seascape and want to create a vibrant, appealing image that will be appreciated for what it is for a long time to come. I love the vibrancy of a sunny day and my paintings quite often are a little brighter than reality, I love to paint a happy image and hope this comes across in my work. Now working from home in Canonbie, Dumfriesshire, I have been selling artwork and prints online over the last four years. I have sold a number of original works and prints from local outlets, craft fayres and online as well as producing many commissions.
