Following is a selection of the customer comments that most moved me. Thank you to all those people who sent me these reviews and the pictures of either original artworks or prints in situ - you are helping to keep an artist in business and I am very very grateful to you!

“Your work captures the aliveness of nature which so many of us miss in the moment of seeing - the magic underpinning the physical. The magic of our animation and beingness.  Any artist - painting, writing, music, etc. whose work freshens my seeing of the natural world with unique perspectives is precious to me.  And your work has moved me this past year.” S.T.

“I certainly feel as if our lives are filled with more energy and have become more vibrant since the piece found a new home with us… It’s hard to describe what creates a feeling of awe in you. But I’d say for me personally it’s realising you are seeing something truly special, a unique gift that really captures the true soul essence and feeling energy of the being (human or animal) that the artist is portraying. I got that feeling when I saw the incredible life like detail of the gorgeous kingfishers in ‘Enchanted’ - that was once I’d regained my composure from being bowled over by the explosion of colour on canvas that you create so wonderfully freely!” K.D.

“I absolutely love all your art work, I love the fact that your paintings have a lot to say.  One on the initial impact of the piece, two the colours are so beautiful whether they are of the similar spectrum or just vivacious and three, with time, you see more and more detail… I love the ones with the animals, either in the forefront or hiding somewhere... For me your pieces are magical and they say a story. (That's what is my favourite).  I also love the fact that they are not contemporary.  You have the skill of a classical style but you have put a twist on it.  As a ballet dancer I love purity and tradition but having a kick of extra energy is the cherry on top and is exciting.” L.S.

“I catch myself just staring into your paintings just dreaming into the horizons and that’s exactly why I brought them! Your art still fits in perfectly and it’s lovely! The compliments I get on your art and style of my little house is very nice :)” L.T.

“After putting up the paintings we bought from you, the whole space changed. It all started to make sense and all came a beautiful harmony... this room was waiting exactly for these paintings… they truly radiate... I cannot look at them as paintings... they are a source of life energy that is so strong that it changes me every time I look at them” J.Z.

“The print arrived safely and I am overwhelmed with happiness to open it…. It might have to go in my bedroom tonight so I can keep looking at it.” S.G.

“My favourite painting is actually the one I bought from you - Woodland Souls. I’ve always felt a special connection with animals (both domestic and wild), ever since being a child… the painting has been a lovely addition to my home. It’s in my lounge and I often gaze at it. The deer are part of my home now and the misty, impressionist feel of the painting, I feel, gives the impression of their being in their own safe space, but also able to join me and look into where I live.” V.H.

“I am still enjoying the print you sent me before, your paintings are so aesthetic, looks like you found that wavelength…” M.M.

“I like to keep going back to your artwork an see something different every time - I like energy and vibrant pictures - something that transports me – a distraction, something to lose myself in…” L.M.

“For me, when I look at your pieces, I am first drawn to the compelling colour combinations.  You capture fauna so beautifully.  Your creatures are so lovely to look at and I feel their spirituality emanating from the canvases.  There is so much that I love about your paintings yet listing them all might take the magic out of the experience for me.  Your work is some of the very best that I have every gazed upon!  Okay, I’ll add one more thing...I can hear the breezes through the trees and flora…” B.A

“Like you, I love being outdoors, so what I love about your pictures is that they capture that ‘wow’ moment when the sunlight just catches the trees or landscape.  It gives you a feeling that is hard to describe! 

When you look closer at your pictures there’s usually a second ‘wow’ with the detail and beauty of creature you’ve painted.” C.B.

“All your work is lovely and ethereal it is obvious that you paint from the heart and feel the wonder of nature as you work and I enjoy very much the painting you did for me and it is much admired.” E.P.

“Love your art.  I have had many compliments on your painting in my dining room. I bought this painting because I saw in it a very stark spiritual representation of walking to God. Literally in nature walking toward God.  I'm not a religious person but I do believe in life beyond this one. I was specifically looking for a spiritual feel to this spot on my wall.  It also reminds me of a path I walk everyday in a somewhat abstract sort of way, which I love. I also love the bright colours you use.” S.S.

“We absolutely love your paintings. Particularly the spirituality of them. Don't change anything - we’re just running out of wall space!” J.S.

“Late yesterday afternoon I was riding my horse in the field, the grass is long and full of summer meadow flowers. As we cantered round the field, the swallows were circling us, and weaving in and out of one another. The colours of the birds, the sky, the grass and the flowers made me smile so very much, my horse, myself and the birds were all having fun… and so when I got home I decided to look for a painting to capture my memory. I googled ‘swallows’ and ‘summer meadow’ and that’s how I found your painting. I like the style of your artwork, so I have treated myself.” J.M.

“I’m so excited after many years of waiting to actually have an original piece of beautiful art! Wow!!!!  I cannot tell you how delighted I am with it - it’s absolutely magical!  I simply love everything about it … but especially the gentleness in the eyes of the doe and the way the stag’s forehead seems to sparkle.” D.J.

“Still loving the painting and the vivid colours it has. We seem to spend time just staring at it. The painting is the first large canvas we have ever bought and it hasn’t disappointed.” M.L.

“I also wanted to thank you again for the painting itself. It's wonderful and I'm loving it! I look forward to appreciating your art for many years to come!” J.C.

“We will look after you painting and will admire your amazing work for years to come! Even my 13 year son gave it the thumbs up!! Quite an achievement as it doesn’t involve football or Xbox!” K & R

“I admire your art work a great deal. Your technique fascinates me. I am always drawn into your paintings to take a closer look, and the colours just sing!” D.D.L

“Very nice colours: the dark blue, nearly black for the endless sea, wonderful play of the sunlight in the waves and then reflected in the sandy bottom. And as an eyecatcher the three colourful fish again reflected in the surface – and the extra energy to give the impression of motion. Very, very, very nice!!  Thank you very much and continue your passion – painting – you make a lot of people very happy! F.R.

“My ‘red magic’ print has arrived and is now the centre piece of my living room its absolutely stunning I can’t stop looking at it - I’m really glad I had a day off and caught your work on the TV - I’m so pleased with it.” P.F.

“The colours are beautiful and I love the abstract landscapes. I’m from West Sussex originally so nice to see the landscapes being painted.” T.A.

“I live in Brighton and spotted your Seaford seascape painting whilst browsing online for a local semi abstract seascape. I usually go for big airy pictures that you can breathe in, and loved the air, space and lightness in your painting. The colours were fresh and uplifting. Looking forward to it adding a light breath to my living space!” S.D.

“I’m writing to thank you so much for the prompt delivery of the canvas print of October Glows. My daughter and husband were overwhelmed when I gave it to them... my daughter cried! - she felt the whole composition was magical and as she put it, ‘it spoke to her’.” S.A.

“We were looking for a “happy, colourful” painting and I stumbled across your work and loved it straight away! I think to display a picture in your home that you look at every day needs to be beautiful and to also spark a memory or feeling. The colours in this painting are lovely and you seem to have captured that happy feeling of looking out at sea and feeling peaceful.” J.L.

“I want to thank to Gill from the bottom of my heart, because her paintings are not just "nice"... they are truly what ART means to people… such an uplifting and life changing experience, what one never forgets. And to have this in our home is pure magic.“ J.Z

“I’m not an art connoisseur but I do love colour, animals and the natural world so your art just spoke to me.  I totally fell in love with your unique fusion of styles, and the way you balance the different elements of those styles in the paintings.  My favourite thing though, is the way a lot of them feel like you are peering into a secret world - it just feels so magical to me.” E.G.
