I have painted all my life but have only in later years had the opportunity of formal study achieving a first class honours degree in Graphic Design and Illustration. After running my own graphics business for seven years, I am now a full-time artist. I love to capture the minute detail of birds and flowers in watercolour. My style of illustrating fruit and vegetables has been of special interest in the commercial world. Some of these have been used to illustrate the restaurant menu at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, as well as being exhibited at the Society of Botanical Artists in London.
Travelling adventures abroad have inspired me to paint landscapes in oil and mixed media.
Examples of my work can be seen on my website: www.maureensparling.co.uk
