Donna Lowe-Fowler is a self taught contemporary artist, working from her studio in Sheffield. Donna says:
" I specialise in close up shots of flowers. In the past have completed short photography courses which has increased the good interpretation and availability of photographs I use for inspiration .
My Eye-catching bold, vibrant flowers in oils and acrylics will make a statement in any room. I am fascinated by the colours , shapes and folds in the flowers. I paint around the sides of the deep edge canvases so they are ready to hang. I was greatly encouraged in my painting when in 2007 when I won my first award in Sheffield ' Art in the Gardens' still life and flowers category this award was presented to me by Sheffield artist Joe Scarborough. 
My artwork also includes Monochrome abstract Skylines of London and New York,also animals and scenery. "

"Ghost Mast at Sunset" by Gaynor Henaghan
"Art is my passion, as well as my full time career. I was born, live and paint in sunny Yorkshire, UK", says Gaynor henaghan.....our current Artist of the Week.

"I paint both contemporary and more traditional pieces, depending on the mood and what is influencing me at the time! My main inspiration is colour, light and structure, although ideas often come from the most unexpected places - from facial expressions to the spoken word... you'd be amazed!

I work a great deal with texture as it gives a whole new dimension to the artwork itself - capturing the visual aspect but also making you want to feel it - I love the fact that my work can be open to different interpretation by each person that views it - it can be endless, which is what I aim to achieve in my abstract work.

My art is regularly sold worldwide, including the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, Malta, as well as a great deal of work which remains in the UK, with both private and commercial clients.

A large proportion of my work is commission based - please contact me if you would like more information about commissioning your own piece of art!"
