"Twas on a Starry Night"

Van Gogh X The Art Post

8 Limited Edition Greetings Cards

£11

My relationship with the land is always positive – any wander brings mental benefit. My art is therefore a direct response to the beauty around me. I have always sought to minimise brush strokes inspired by impressionists such as Tom Thomson and more recently Hester Berry. I try to capture the essence of a place and connect with the viewer – this is my ultimate aim - to recognise and share beauty. The lockdown period for me has really emphasised the beauty that is in everyday places, forever changing through the seasons, weather and time of day. As an artist, this diversity increasingly opens my eyes as I seek inspiration for my painting. This view is from my local wood in the Rivelin Valley in Sheffield. Light, shadow and colour is what fascinates me, giving a brightness and uplifting quality to the image, capturing a moment in time.

The Art Post premise is simple

The Art Post is a wax-sealed miniature art gallery right to your doorstep. We're curating and showcasing masterpieces by up and coming artists on postcards. You can either subscribe to our new Emerging Artists edition, or our Sheffield artists edition (where we've been testing the concept!)

You can collect the postcards, frame them (they're printed on high quality card) and of course, send them to friends and family to say a simple thank you or tick all your birthday cards off for the year with a card that can be treasured for life.

"I didn't know I needed it, but I'm so glad I found it." - That's a quote from lovely Sal, one of the Art Post's first very first testers.
