Company details

  1. Artist

Written by the company

I paint large contemporary landscapes and seascapes in oil on canvas. My painting style is a fusion of Expressionist, Impressionist, Semi-abstract, Art Nouveau and something I term ‘memory impressionism’. This is where I go walking somewhere rural, look at and absorb the things I see and experience, and then come home and try to capture an essence of the place from memory. My paintings are, for me, echoes of beautiful places and it always fascinates me what emerges on to a canvas from a simple memory. All of them have a story attached and are named once I have completed the painting and can see more clearly what the story is! I completed a fine art degree in Brighton in 1983 and I have painted since I was three. I love what I do and consider myself very fortunate to have found a way to ‘work’ for a living that is actually really playing. Painting always makes me happy along with cake, bunnies, driving erratically, BBC 6 music and totally irreverent comedy.

Lovely paintings, great service

I bought an original oil painting a little while ago from Gill. Everything came packaged very well with lots of padding and very professionally done from overseas and it came in the expected time period.

The painting itself is just exquisite. The colors and composition and everything is so lovely. It’s hard to find art that actually sends you a real communication these days and boy, he’s did it.

The one tiny issue I had was that it was a fairly newer painting and probably still curing and so the bubble wrap made little tiny imperceptible circles on the painting when it was sent. She gave me exact instructions on how to repair it and shipped me all the tools needed to do so. Excellent customer service.

The problem is they actually grew on me and made the painting even better so I didn’t end up fixing it. Hahaha. You can’t even really tell anyway.

She’s a wonderful, friendly person and I just love her original works.

They look even better in person!!! No regrets.

Gill’s paintings have inner depth

Bought a large original canvass last year which when I first saw it brought out unbelievable emotions in me. I am an art lover of many different styles, but each painting or print I buy has to convey something to me. I had to re-arrange my main wall to give Gill’s pride of place and everyone comments on it. I don’t know how she does it, but the way she uses her paint to highlight means the picture glows in the evening just with candlelight!! On top of that she was so welcoming and warm, such an easy person to chat with and so happy to talk about her subject matter.

Such a wonderful artist.

Such a wonderful artist. Very lovely lady who is most helpful and open to conversation. I have bought a large canvass of one of her paintings, which is over my bed. Beautiful and soulful. All Gill’s work is divine.
