”Roo, I want you to know how delighted I am with my shelf portrait. It’s even better than I had hoped! It really is a portrait of my life, from books reminding me of my grandfather, parents, friends, school and university days, my working life and my children. Thank you so much!
Best wishes, Carol”

A very enjoyable and successful Open Studios weekend

What a lovely weekend!
Hebden Bridge was buzzing, full of arts festival entertainments, and Northlight Art Studios was busy and full of life!
There were lots of stories shared in my space. I find that people viewing my paintings do tend to start connecting and talking about their own books/stories/lives – it is fascinating, and a joy!!
