|
Shop, Pub or Business Owner? |
| How about having your
business painted? I have worked with a number of
shop and business owners to provide a unique and
artistic representation of their business. |
| My clients always find these
attract a positive reaction from customers |
| |
| You can also use
the unique design in flyers, brochures, business
cards, websites and other publicity. Some of the
shops that I have painted have also had cards
made from the prints and used these for gift
vouchers. |
|
Homeowner? |
| How about an
artistic keepsake of your beloved home? These in
particular make a delightful gift for a close
friend or family member. |
You can also
have the design made into greeting cards to
celebrate Christmas or any other events. Many of
my clients have asked for this and I can allow
this in the price if you are interested.
|
| Some
of my previous commissions are included on this
Surrey Artists site and more are on my website. |
| I would be
delighted to discuss your particular
requirements. My contact details are above. |

About The Artist - Susie Lidstone
|
|
I have been painting seriously
for some 30 years and now work from my small
studio in Farnham, Surrey. I gained a degree in
Fine Art Printmaking from West Surrey College of
Art and Design in 1981. |
|
I have since worked on commissions from all over
the world and have exhibited countrywide. I have
my own range of greeting cards and take workshops
with children. These have also led to the
designing of art projects for festivals and shops. |
 |
The vibrant colours of flowers have always
fascinated me and I find that Watercolour is the
perfect medium to capture their qualities. |
|
I think that their appeal is timeless and I hope
to capture both the calm and vitality I always
feel in studying my subjects. |
|
In recent times my work has diversified
substantially. Sometime ago I was commissioned to
paint a florist shop and the subsequent painting
was reproduced as greeting cards. The result of
that initial painting has been a flow of
commissions on a series of paintings of local shop
fronts and houses. You can see some examples here. |
|
I have also been working for a company designing
art projects for an online children's store, which
has lead to further artwork design for festivals,
Great Ormond Street Hospital and for private
companies. |
|
I find that producing work from such different
subject matter enables me to return afresh to
painting natural plant forms. Change is always
good and it challenges you! A little potted
history of my working and learning can be found
here, in addition to my past work for events and
exhibitions and commissions over the years. |
|
I admire the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, in
particular his ability to capture the lyrical
quality of plant forms; also Paul Hogarth for his
quirky take on architecture and buildings; and
finally Elizabeth Blackadder whose paintings
filled me with delight as a child. Recently I had
the pleasure of having one of my paintings
displayed with hers at a London event. |
|
I hope you enjoy
looking at my work, and I look forward to hearing
from you if you would like to know more. |
