People are passionate about the Mid-Century look. It’s iconic, stylish and not at all out of place in a 21st Century interior. For most people, once bitten by the Mid-Century bug, there’s no going back. As with all great interior trends, art complements décor and furnishings to help finalise and set-off a specific look that is trying to be achieved. This certainly isn’t any different with...

"The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless." Jean-Jacques Rousseau  Art is good for you. It can help reduce stress, it’s therapeutic, and is a source of constant inspiration. In fact, brain scans have revealed that looking at works of art triggers a surge of dopamine into the same area of the brain that registers romantic love. If you’ve spent time designing an interior you...

I have had a love of nature all my life and walking in the surrounding countryside, with a dog at my side, is one of my greatest pleasures.

When I...

Homes are our modern sanctuaries and the room that should most reflect this is, of course the bedroom.

Hi I’m Linda. I am an artist because I flit from one idea to another... and the ideas take over my actions and I must run with them and let them happen.

Buying art online has revolutionised traditional markets, making it possible for buyers to view work that otherwise might be hung on a gallery wall hundreds of miles away, attracting a limited and often ‘local’ audience. It does however limit the questions that a buyer can ask about how the work is created, especially when artists are using mediums that the buyer may not be familiar with...

Describing a piece of art as 'abstract' is a default phrase used by many people. Abstract art, like any movement of art, is easy to explain and appreciate once you know how.

Where in previous centuries we sought to...

“People say to me quite often “ When did you start painting ? ”, but I don’t really have an answer for them. You see there was never a time that I didn’t paint and draw.

An interview with Andrew Reid Wildman Photography of urban scenes draws me. I am attracted by its realism, its resonance with everyday life in all its shades. When I see a photograph of a rundown shop or a derelict building, it sets off a chorus of emotion in me; sadness, recognition, familiarity, nostalgia, mystery, danger even. However I need to be able to engage with the...
