Name: Joan Dodds

Location: Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

Since early days, it was rare to catch me without a pencil in my hand. In much later years and after gaining 0 level art, I have studied with the London College of Art, watercolours, acrylic, oil painting and at different schools - silk painting, Chinese brush painting, life drawing and botanic flower painting. It's hard from this selection to find a favourite amongst them because I love any form of creating with colour. It is always so good to put on some music and lose myself in the colours and textures of a new painting. 

It is always thrilling when someone likes my work enough to want to buy it and display it on their walls and I do offer commissions.
