It is with deep sadness that we announce that Denise Hawthorne has passed away. The family would like to extend their gratitude to everyone for their love and support. In due course, we will show more of Denise’s work as she has been painting the most wonderful pictures recently, and we will love to share them. Thank you.
I am an Artist living and working in Lincolnshire
I taught for many years in schools and College and since retiring I have been able to devote more time to my own work. My studio is a small ex-Methodist chapel in Welton, six miles North of Lincoln. I also hold workshops and adult classes there as well as painting. A real highlight these last few years has been teaching watercolour painting on cruise ships.
My inspiration is usually the natural world: the big skies and arable fields of Lincolnshire, the hills of my native Lancashire, and exciting new experiences travelling abroad.
I work in sketchbooks and use a camera to collect information. The final pieces tend to be developed in oils, acrylic or mixed media. I also return quite regularly to Lincoln Cathedral for inspiration.Visitors to my studio are welcome-please just phone ahead.
