Buying Original Art, Prints, Cards etc.
Giclée Print
Giclée prints, high quality photographic reproductions with an archival life expectancy of up to 100 years, are available for some of the paintings. They are printed in small limited editions of between 10 and 75 on specialist acid free, fine art paper. Each one is signed, titled and numbered. Prints are gently rolled and posted in robust postal tubes. Mounted prints are available by visiting Maureen's studio.
Greeting Card
Many of the paintings and sketches are available as greeting cards. The cards are blank inside, come with an envelope and are wrapped in cellophane. The cards are handmade with a photographic image on the front of a folding card or printed, this is mentioned in the description.
Book
During the first Lockdown, with galleries closed and her art classes cancelled, Maureen was happy painting, gardening and having time to do those things she could not normally fit in. During the second Lockdown in Autumn 2020, which lasted 27 days, she made a sketch a day and turned it into a book.
When the third Lockdown came on January 2021 it was mid-winter and the nights were long. She again made the decision to do a sketch a day and post it on Instagram and Facebook. She never knew what she would draw at the beginning of the day so drew her inspiration from her now resumed classes online, news headlines and events happening around her. Her second book has 167 sketches.
Notebook
I have recently introduced notebooks to my range and I shall be increasing the designs in due course. The notebooks have a matt soft cover with the front design continuing over the spine. My details and a small image of the cover are printed on the back. Inside are 100 ruled pages (50 double sided sheets). They are ideal as small presents and can be carried easily in a handbag or kept at home to making notes.
Original Painting
The paintings are in oil on a linen canvas and the size includes the white floating frame. Prices exclude delivery costs. It is recommended that you visit Maureen's studio to view the artwork on a no obligation basis. To do this, please use the contact page stating the title of the painting you are interested in. A few paintings are in acrylics and this is mentioned in the individual description.

One of the wonderful things about Cambridge are the really old buildings in the centre of Cambridge. When I first arrived everyone could visit the University of Cambridge except during exams so the locals would take short cuts via the college. There is a lot of green space, immaculate grass very few are allowed to walk on and some magnificent gardens where teams of gardeners dressed in green would tend every leaf and blade of grass.
Nowadays, there are so many visitors the colleges are only open at certain times and visitors have to pay. But the gates of Trinity College from the Backs are open most of the time allowing people to wander on the paths between the grass. There are signs there saying 'Please Keep off the Grass'.
So my imagination wonders what it could be like if those gardeners let the grass grow a little longer. So here if the very large area of grass near the Backs with the view of St John's that always reminds me a bit of a wedding cake. Think of all those wild flowers attracting bees and insects.
