Each year I produce eight new cards.
Most of these are ‘Round the Year’ cards and the others are
Christmas and Winter pictures.
Since I have had to lean on my right arm for support, I have learnt
to paint using my left hand. Each picture takes me a long time
to produce as I need to have regular breaks, and also need someone
to hold my wrist while I am painting.
I paint using watercolour, acrylic and on silk as well as using my computer art program to help with the different stages of some of the designs.
I sell my cards at a few local farm shops, but mostly from home to family, friends and their friends. We send packages of cards to anyone living further away and I am always looking for new customers and outlets for my cards.
