Chorley artist whose late grandfather left her his paintings is helping endangered wildlife one sketch at a time
"As well as obviously referring to the tiger's endangered status and vulnerability in the wild, it also felt poignant to me following my separation from my husband and being a single parent."This also enables me to connect to the subject/image on a deeper level. Sometimes there is also a personal and collective story behind each artwork too that is not always obvious but I usually reflect this in the titles of the works.
"One of the realisations for me was that I could actually use my art as a force for good - to help raise awareness and money for species and spaces that are endangered. It was like my art suddenly had a place and a direction rather than simply being something beautiful to look at it could do much more.
"Contemporary artists that I admire include wildlife artists like David Stribbling, Emma Swift and Daniel Cole and the figurative painter Rosso Emerald Crimson."She said:"My hope for the future is that I can continue to build upon what I've started and be in a stronger position to be able to more regularly support some of the causes that have come to my attention.
