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 at

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
