ABOUT ME
Award winning / Published Artist and member of the UKCPS (United Kingdom Coloured Pencil Society)
Great great niece of World famous artist David Dewsberry, who specialised in painting floral studies and is acknowledged as a master painter of Orchids. Great Great Granddaughter of George Henry Dewsberry – a talented ceramic artist of mainly tile designs, some of which are in Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s Residence on the Isle of Wight.
My love of coloured pencil art began in 2010 when my full time career in the Civil Service came to and end and I had time to pursue other avenues. I discovered the UK Coloured Pencil Society, became a member and have since enjoyed creating pieces in a variety of subjects as a way of progressing myself and increasing my skills.
Working from photographs I use top quality, lightfast materials, Faber Castell Polychromos, Derwent and Caran D’ache coloured pencils, Pastel pencils and Graphite on acid free paper.
I share my home with a gorgeous, cheeky, rescued West Highland Terrier called Bobby. He’s great company, keeps me on my toes (never a dull moment) enjoys cuddles and loves to make me smile – which he does every day. Sadly he is now on palliative care having succumbed to a pregressive and fatal lung disease called Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, otherwise known as ‘Westie Lung’. He is still full of fun and enjoying life but having regular laser treatment and daily inhalers to give him a better quality of life for as long as possible.
Please note, if you own a Westie or other small Terrier this disease begins with a cough. If your dog is diagnosed with this disease there is not a lot of information about it in the UK but there are things you can do to help your dog have a better quality of life. There is a fantastic Facebook group full of useful information and advice. Here is the link to their group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/327689790763155/
