Maker's bio

As self-taught artist living in the Northumberland, I have been painting for over 24 years. Inspired by the surrounding Northeast coastline I enjoy painting seascapes and landscapes in acrylics and watercolour hopefully capturing their atmosphere in different moods through colour. Even though I have a passion for creating landscapes and seascapes I also like to experiment with different mediums and subjects which makes my artwork quite diverse. I also paint in alcohol inks, sometimes adding a little goldleaf metal to enhance the painting, My artwork has been displayed and sold from Art Gallery’s in Newcastle upon Tyne, North Shields and in Spennymoor. There are very little things I enjoy more than listening to my favourite pieces of music while painting. This is so therapeutic; an experience I’d like to share with others and why I decided to host my own relaxing art workshop. A chance to leave the Hustle and bustle of everyday life behind for 2 hours a week and create your own piece of art in a relaxing friendly atmosphere.

"Wonderful class lead by a lovely, talented lady. Thank you, for making my daughter feel so welcome. She thoroughly enjoyed the sessions she has attended so far and produced some amazing artwork. Can’t wait to see what she creates next time we come. "

Paint & Create responded:

"Thank you so much Victoria for taking the time to write a fantastic review. I am very grateful . This means a lot to me as I enjoy the workshops so much. It still amazes me each week how with just a small amount of direction and encouragement the children create such beautiful artwork. I beleive the workshops not only help build confidence but also help the children relax while painting to some soothing music. Thank you again Victoria, look forward to seeing you both soon x"
