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.

Another painting in my series of books in trees.
These paintings are a labour of love. Painted in oil mixed with Liquin to make very small strokes and applied with tiny 003 brushes to get the details right. They are paintings that need to be looked at closely but also work from afar as an explosion of colour. Made in the style of Medieval painting and manuscripts which I absolutely love.
The painting has a few other objects thrown in such as an owl and a bottle of wine. I paint them so those who look closely can enjoy spotting them and are often overlooked by those who just glance at my work. There are nine objects to find.
Before Covid I used to visit the wonderful Parker Library at Corpus Christi in Cambridge. I sat in the reading room with the books on a cushion to protect them and my sketchbook on the table. I drew in pencil and occasionally added colour using coloured pencils as wet materials were understandably not allowed. I loved drawing there in the quietness surrounded by scholars researching their thesis or writing books. No-one spoke. I often wonder what they made of me sitting there drawing.
