LINDA WAIN
Linda Wain is a much sought after Wildlife Artist who now enjoys an International reputation.
Being born in Derby she has always loved Derbyshire and now lives in Belper with her husband Kevin and Minty and Amber her two Barn Owls.
Originally she started her working career at Royal Crown Derby where she stayed for 11 years painting mainly birds, figurines and jewellery. After a break of several years Linda started, in 1989, to paint professionally for herself and has enjoyed the very rapid growth in popularity of her work.
She now works from her studio at home and holds many exhibitions throughout the year often accompanied by her own Barn Owl "Minty" who is a subject of several paintings. Linda has always had a strong love of nature, animals and birds and in choosing them as her main subject to paint was very easy in that it is a natural extension of this love.
To recreate parts of nature for people to enjoy and look at in their own homes gives Linda a great pleasure. Indeed many of her happiest times are when she is sat painting. Other times are whilst out obtaining material for her paintings. Imagine the great pleasure and privilege at being able to see and handle all sorts of birds and animals.
Just sitting in an enclosure with Arctic foxes playing around you or being able to hand feed lemur monkeys or maybe nursing a Racoon as well as flying a Barn Owl or even just sitting painting with one next to you. Linda's work now hangs in many private collections around the world and she is well respected for her accurately detailed nature paintings of all kinds of British and Foreign wildlife, both mammals and birds as well as flowers. She also paints pets and horses and is happy to receive commissions on any nature subject.
Some of Linda's pictures are now available as limited edition prints and several have been made into a range of Designer greetings cards.

MARK HOLIDAY
Fairytale artist Mark Holiday was born in the Port of Hull in 1961. He was educated at a nearby Grammar school where he showed some early promise for art. After leaving school, he found himself in various jobs, coal miner, window cleaner and grave digger to name a few, always finding the time to maintain his love for painting.
In 1989 he was extremely lucky to be able to go full time as an artist. He initially painted wildlife subjects using watercolour prefering "the better the devil you know" approach. In 1992 he received a bottle of ChromaColour Artist Colours sellotaped as a freebie, to the front of a magazine, which he tried and immediately liked, so he sent away for a box of 8 colours. The day the paints arrived was the day his artwork improved 100%. All of a sudden he could do all of the things he was doing with watercolours and all the things you could do with gouache, inks and oil paint using only one type of paint. Their versatility was amazing and it gave Mark the flexibility needed to begin painting a subject matter that was very dear to his heart - Fairytales.
Two years later Mark was asked, at a local art show, if he'd ever thought of teaching and a couple of months later he began teaching using ChromaColour Artist Colours and is still teaching and using ChromaColour Artist Colours to this day.
