Hello, Since studying art at 'A' level I have always aspired to spend time sketching and painting. Since retiring from a busy career (Landscape Architect) I have joined a local art group and attended a few courses including weekly ceramics. I am absolutely fired up by all aspects of creativity!!

I'll upload some images on return from my holiday in the Netherlands.

I loved art at school but only went back to it ten years ago. I enjoy learning different techniques and using different mediums although I tend to use graphite, acrylics and mixed media more often than other materials. I particularly enjoy doing portraits in graphite and animals using acrylics.

Style and Technique are a killer in my opinion. I approach each piece of work in whatever way my observation dictates, whether it be the medium to use or the size and composition etc. If it’s a private commission the clients desires and specifications are paramount, but I do not work to deadlines. I do give a reasonable time frame in which to complete the work though. Prices vary accordingly. I’m always happy to discuss any shown interest without pressure to commit.

I am an aspiring artist keen to develop my skills in a variety of mediums, including acrylics, watercolour and pastels.
I trained as a Landscape Architect but now I am retired I have time to follow my passions of painting, design, gardening and the natural world.

Wendy is a landscape photographer with a particular interest in woodland and river scenes and wildflowers, seeking out the best locations locally to capture their beauty through the seasons. She loves atmospheric weather conditions, especially mist and tries to convey to the viewer what she felt when she witnessed a beautiful scene or moment. Her resulting images often have an impressionistic and painterly appearance. She likes to get to know her area really well: the majority of her photographs are taken close to where she lives in Stoke Row.

She sells her images as fine art framed pictures, unframed prints and handmade cards. She prints her own photographs up to a certain size and uses a professional print company in Didcot for bigger images, and for a professional finish, uses a frame shop in Thame.
