After talking about making a blog for over a year I have finally got my act together and got it sorted….now all I need to do is get posting!<\/span><\/p>\n

I run art and craft classes in my cosy studio between Cheltenham and Gloucester….I say ‘cosy’ as I like it warm which is good as it still feels like winter outside!<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t have a particular style but love to flit between painting large flower canvases and creating smaller pieces of mixed media…..a blend of painting, stamping, texture and papers….with such a wide variety of projects to choose from I can ‘go with the flow’ and not feel restricted to one type of art…such a great way to relax.<\/span><\/p>\n

I look forward to sharing my blogging journey with you……<\/span><\/p>\n
