Linda Vousden

I live in Berkshire (UK) with my long-suffering husband and a passel of cats - some gorgeous Tonkinese, a handsome Maine Coon and a striking tabby moggy. I'm very much involved in the UK Cat Fancy (if you'd like to know more do visit my other web site )

I am a self-taught artist. I love the nostalgic watercolour paintings of Helen Allingham, Leyton Forbes and other early 20th Century artists but when I tried emulating their art I failed miserably. Then I saw a more relaxed style of painting, which encouraged me to look for my own style - I'm still looking but I think I'm progressing.

I love learning how to use light and colour in different ways – whether in photographs or paint. I joined Saatchi Art because people have been kind enough to say they like my pictures and asked where they could find them.

I look forward to my retirement at the end of this year - more time for painting.Thank you for visiting and I hope you like what you see - or at least some of it.
Cheers, Linda.

I qualified to be a middle-school teacher in the late 1970s (Weymouth College of Further Education, which sadly no longer exists). After a few years I moved into working with computers at Ferranti in Bracknell. In 1990 I became involved with the UK Cat Fancy and I'm now a qualified judge with the GCCF. All the time I was looking for a spare moment to take up painting, which I always enjoyed as a child. I've recently taken a couple of art courses to help me on my way and I'm now a member of the newly formed Bell Art Group in Waltham St Lawrence.
