Local artist, Lesley Griggs, has produced some beautiful paintings from Derbyshire landscapes which have been made into cards and are available to order in support of the Derbyshire Rural Chaplaincy.
Lesley, who has been a member of the Derby Sketching Club since moving to Derby, began pursuing the art of painting after enrolling at Adult Education painting classes for beginners in 1985. Essentially self-taught, she says that “a lack of formal training can be an advantage as there are no preconceived ideas and allows freedom to do one’s own thing. I paint in watercolour, acrylic and oils and try to create a loose fluid and decorative style, injecting deep jewel-like colours into my paintings.”
The cards are A6 in size (4″ x 6″), produced on FSC card, blank inside, and come with envelopes made of 100% recycled paper.
