Where we are
We currently have 7 studio holders at Craven Arts House, all of whom support the Trustees in promoting creativity in the Craven area.
As part of a former school, my lovely light studio incorporates the original wooden screens that formerly separated boys from girls - these days we let both in together!
Celebrating Yorkshire's Dales
Green gold, quinacridone gold and indigo my signature colours express my feelings about our natural world especially our varied geology and terrain.
I have been a watercolour artist practicing in Yorkshire and Lancashire for the past 20+ years. My art expresses my feelings about a subject rather than being truly representational. I am moved by the intensity of J. M. W. Turner's ethereal paintings and more modern day artist Michael Morgan both of whom challenged watercolour ‘rules’ with loose and evocative styles.
My eco friendly cards are blank inside, so useful as notelets as well as for sending greetings. Made entirely in house, they are printed on FSC certified paper.
