- Some of you may have noticed a new sign on the front of the house. I have incorporated this sign as the web
sites background graphic. Click here to
view a picture of the original version.
-
- The sign was commissioned by us for the cattery
and is a print of the original acrylic painting (now hanging in our house). It
was completed by feline artist Diane Elson who
regularly exhibits at Wold
Galleries, which is situated in picturesque Bourton-on-the-Water in the
Cotswolds,
and is run by our very good friends Ella and Kit, please visit their web site

Diane Elson
- Born in Sutton, Surrey in 1953 Diane decided as a child to be an artist
and it was clear from her exceptional ability at drawing and painting shown
at school that she was destined for a career in art. Diane won many
prizes for her work and while still at school began writing and illustrating
books, some 21 were published.
-
- Leaving school Diane had already established herself as an illustrator so
it was not difficult to develop a career in art. Through exhibitions
Diane built a steady demand for her original paintings and at the same time
became a fine illustrator. She was invited to lecture in illustration
at St Martins Art College, London. Diane has gone on to establish an
international reputation as an artist holding one woman exhibitions in
England, Holland, Germany, Sweden, USA and Japan where she has been declared
a national treasure! Diane’s fame in Japan has followed her back to
England where the English Japanese community pay frequent visits to her
studio to commission or buy works for themselves or relatives back home.
-
- Diane shares her Hampshire home and studio with her husband and four cats.
-
- Diane's work, along with that of many other fine artists from the UK and Russia,
can be seen at Wold Galleries
which is situated in picturesque Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds, and
is run by our very good friends Ella and Kit, please visit there web site at
