PRESS: Mam Tor

I’ve been reading/admiring the Hope Valley Journal since issue 1, so I am delighted that one of my drawings has been used to illustrate an article about Mam Tor in Issue 5. Here it is in my hands! It’s so beautiful.

Amongst other delights, this issue also features breathtaking photography (including the cover photo above) by Sam Walker and a brilliant guide to identifying wild mushrooms illustrated by my extremely talented friend Andrea Joseph.

Order your copy from https://www.hopevalleyjournal.co.uk

Several original drawings of Mam Tor, including the one featured in Hope Valley Journal Issue 5, are available in my Folksy shop. Prints are also available from £18 – please contact me if you can’t see the piece you are interested in.

I’m adding more to my Folksy shop as quickly as I can so please keep checking back. A4 prints of most of my work are available so please ask if you can’t see what you’re looking for. These are printed in-house using Epson inks on textured matt-finish 190gsm archival paper. A3 prints are also usually available by request – my Dad is printing these for me on his larger scale printer, so please allow an extra day.

January update

Hi! Quick update.

Well, baby number 2 definitely isn’t ready for me to do any painting, or much else, just yet.

I’m hoping to return to work properly in June (fingers crossed) but I am allowed to work a few more KIT days before then so I have opened my shop back up with longer shipping times. Please note that I’ve specified 21 days from placing an order to posting. In reality I’d usually expect to get parcels out in around 7-10 days, with the help of helpful husband.

I’ve added options for international shipping now too – artwork on paper will be rolled in a tube and sent via airmail.

As usual, any questions, please send me an email and helpful husband or I will get back to you ASAP.

I’m off to schedule some Instagram posts before I go to bed…

SHOP: How to buy my Peak District art prints, cards and gifts – update

Hi! As of 15th September 2019 I’m on Maternity Leave until (potentially) June 2020.

During this time I will not be selling prints and cards from my Folksy shop*. You will instead be able to buy art prints, posters, cards, stationery, clothing, homeware and other gifts featuring my work through my shop on Redbubble. This is a Print on Demand service which will make and deliver your order directly to you, so there’s 0% involvement from me and 0% chance of me messing anything up due to sleep deprivation/only being able to use one arm!

My Folksy shop is currently in Holiday Mode, but I plan to reopen around the beginning of November [update] as soon as possible in the New Year. A selection of my original art will be available to buy when I reopen, but please allow up to 30 days for a response and for your order to be posted*.

Any posts on my blog and social media from mid September 2019 to June 2020 will most likely be scheduled a month in advance so please forgive any weirdness or delay in replying to emails or comments*.

Thanks for your continued support!

*BORING INFO ALERT: This is due to legal restrictions on the number of days I am allowed to work during my Maternity Allowance period.

SHOP: Storm over the Dark Peak

An original Peak District landscape painting inspired by a rain storm over the Dark Peak, Derbyshire. I love the drama of the pink sky looming over and the bleak moor beneath, and the suggestion of rain bouncing off the gritstone escarpments.

SKETCHBOOK: Froggatt Edge

Sketching at Froggatt Edge Peak District, local Sheffield artist Sian Vernon

A fresh Spring walk along Froggatt Edge from the Grouse Inn towards Curbar, a quick stop to sketch some of the lovely rock formations on Froggatt Edge, then back along White Edge.

SHOP: Over Owler Tor II

An original Peak District watercolour landscape painting of Over Owler Tor from Little Moor near Hathersage, Derbyshire. I love the fortress-like feeling of this imposing gritstone tor and the windswept moor beneath. There’s a suggestion of the burnt oranges and ochres of the winter moorland grasses of the Dark Peak in the foreground.

SKETCHBOOK: Little Moor, Hathersage

A couple of sketchbook pages I forgot to post from February. These were drawn from Little Moor on the road from Ringinglow to Hathersage. The first is of Winyard’s Nick and the second of Over Owler Tor and the start/end of Millstone Edge. I decided to exaggerate the purple and lime green!

It’s hard to believe these photos were taken in February. As I was sitting with my back against the wall in the sunshine, a stoat, looking completely out of place in its white winter coat, popped its head out about 3 meters away, looked at me and hopped off up the field.

SHOP: Curbar Edge I and II

Two contemporary Peak District landscape paintings of Curbar Edge near the Chatsworth Estate in Derbyshire. I’ve tried to capture the mood of this rugged gritstone escarpment in winter and the burnt oranges of the grasses and bracken on the moor below.
