ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Drawing
• Painting
• Photography

Born in the UK, creativity was in my blood from an early age. I studied professional photography in London. I moved to the South West 13 years ago and have been raising 3 boys. My creativity sparked a few years ago whilst in the chaos of motherhood and I started drawing animals and plants using Ink pen. I have since branched out into different mediums – colour pencils, ink and paint. Besides drawing, I have a huge passion for interior design and renovating. Over the last 3 years, I have renovated a railway carriage which has now become my art studio. I am inspired by beautiful interiors and fashion. This is my first year being part of Open Studios and I look forward to welcoming you to the carriage!

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

I have renovated an old freight train carriage, that is around 42 years old. A piece of Westrail history. I spent three years stripping all of the lead paint off to reveal all the jarrah wood inside. Knocked out louvres and put in custom Jarrah windows. Scrapped off the yellow exterior paint and painted it black. It is now an incredible space and a piece of art in itself that needs to be experienced.

I will have original drawings/ pieces of art for sale, prints in various sizes, greeting cards.
