The Christmas card collection. A series of paintings that were used for greeting cards for eight years, from 2015 to 2022.
The first four cards were known known as ‘Bird Collection’, a series of paintings depicting British birds in a wintry background. The birds collection owes its inspiration to a Birds of Freedom intervention in Liverpool in 2010 in which pictures of three British birds ‘flew’ all over the world.
The other four were known as the ‘Churches Collection’, depicting famous Liverpool churches, again in a winter setting.
I am a cereer journalist having worked for the London Dail Mail, Reuters and latterly the Liverpool Daily Post on Merseyside as well as the journalists’ leader in the region. I have experience as a crime reporter, feature writer, business editor and latterly, a senior sub-editor.
My qualifications include a BA (Hons) English, from the University of Liverpool; a BA (Hons) Fine Art and an MA in Creative Practice both from Liverpool Hope University.
I now divide my time between art and writing.
I will shortly be publishing my first full-length novel, The Poseidon Files and as a taster I have written a short story which features the same central female character in which she talks about her world and her life. It is, however, essentially a ghost story.
