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.

When I was little we used to go and visit my grandparents' farm in deepest Norfolk. They kept chickens which were taken to the market every Thursday. The house had no electricity and no running water so it was rather magical, although a little scary, with oils lamps and candles, water fetched from the pump in the front garden and of course the cold and dark outside toilet that had no flush but lots of spiders.
Opposite the house was an apple orchard where my sister and I used to play. It was full of flowers and dappled sunlight and we used to take our dolls and books and spend a lot of time there. One day I sat down on a little rise and picked up a book only to be seen screaming and running to the house 10 minutes later, I had sat on an ant's nest and they were everywhere. This painting brings back those memories of when we were called in for our tea.
This is one of my favourite paintings and I might just keep it a little bit longer before it goes on sale.
