Michele Field
Welcome
The subjects I most enjoy painting are canals,
waterways, woodlands, vibrant floral canvases
& dog portraits. Main medium is acrylic's.
Painting has given me much enjoyment since a young child.
Over the years I have held many solo exhibitions & can proudly proclaim that my work can be seen in homes across the UK and over seas.
Thank you to all who have supported me & to those who have
purchased & commissioned my work.
