I am an artist working in North East England. I took Art A-level and then a B-Tec Diploma in Photography. After being employed as a photographer for twelve years, I became self employed in 2009 as a photographer. This also gave me the opportunity to paint more. I have gained lots of self confidence in my art and these last few years I have truly felt like an artist.

I paint mainly from photographs that I have taken, of landscapes and nature and I try to get out as much as possible to sketch. I love detail but have been trying to paint in a looser style.

I hope that you find something in my galleries that you'd either like to send to someone special as a card or gift, or that you think is special enough to have in your home.

If you love painting and drawing and need a little help or inspiration, I also have a youtube channel where I'm sharing my art journey and working process. I hope you'll pay it a visit ~ www.youtube.com/gilliancrossart
