Roo’s paintings are inspired by household objects which she depicts in situ, often larger than life. She loves to paint using oils – the traditional medium of reverential portraiture. Her paintings observe and appreciate our relationships with the often unnoticed familiar objects in our everyday surroundings; exploring how they can hold onto the stories of our lives, becoming links to past times.

The Comfort of Things is up and ready to open….
No grand opening do, I’m afraid, but I will be in residence for a ‘Meet the Artist’ session on Saturday 3rd May from 12 noon to 2pm
– which just so happens to coincide with the Beer and Cider Festival 🙂
In the meantime, get on down to the Town Hall in Hebden Bridge and take a look.
All paintings are for sale, and there’s some lino prints too….

I am sincerely hoping that this new painting is going to be ready for ‘The Comfort of Things’ exhibition at Hebden Bridge Town Hall. Opening 3 weeks today!! (eeek!)
Hope I just haven’t tempted fate…..
