I was delighted to be phoned, one day, by Andrew Gallon, a freelance journalist enquiring if I had ever been featured in The Yorkshire Dalesman magazine. I hadn’t so Andrew arranged to come and interview me in the gallery. He was really thorough and asked many questions about my journey to becoming an artist, my inspirations, paintings, how I paint, my background in retailing and fashion.
The result Is a 4-page spread in the magazine complete with images of painting such as Cherry blossom, a recent Valley Gardens Café painting, Staithes and a hare in buttercups. Andrew has captured my life in perfectly written, mini biography.
Thank you, Andrew for writing such a great article.
The magazine is out this month until 23rd January and is fitting that it should come out in my 10th year anniversary of The Dove Tree Art Gallery.
