Lorraine Allen

I always drew when I was younger but stopped when I married. I had a senior post in a responsible job, was confident and independent but gave this up when I remarried to become a full time carer for my youngest son born with disabilities.

Sharmila’s Art

I am an artist, forever in a quest to learn more from others, discover more of what I can do myself and share further what I know. I believe that artists great or small were never made by their own learning alone, but a cumulative effect of interacting with fellow artists and their own take on things that they discovered in the wondrous world around them.

Artwork by Linda

I like to try new ways to express art, so sometimes I only learn the basics and don’t improve over time.
