Local business supporting local Artists



During the last year I have been really fortunate to receive commissions from a number of local businesses to create paintings for their premises. It’s reassuring that they have chosen to support a local artist in this way.

I would like to highlight three of these businesses who asked me to create artworks for their businesses.

  • Last November, I completed 3 paintings for Maverick Travel, for their Everton Park office. Here is a link to their Facebook Fan Page.

  • The second local business I worked with is a brand new Cafe` which opened three months ago. Since Deja` Bru is only a few minutes from my home, I don’t need to tell you it’s a favourite stop for coffee. The coffee is top class, the cakes are divinely sinful and the service is warm and friendly.

  3. Hello Carol, thankyou for your kind words. Having you create our artwork was so easy. I don't really know what I was expecting but certainly not the level of guidance and assistance with picking the ideal images and working with the space we had. I consider your artwork my christmas gift to myself and my clients and I can highly recommend you (as I do) to anyone else wanting artwork for their home or business. Take care honey, Joanne Harding-Smith (Maverick Travel).

  4. I love all three Carol, although I am partial to all things Italian and French, so I could so see those paintings on my wall. They're all gorgeous though. Thanks for sharing them.
