Canada is home to many artists and a large proportion are women.
Like Canada the UK has a large number of women artists too. Fifty per cent of the artists and craftspeople represented by Creative Coverage, the UK arts organization, are female.
One such artist is Haidee-Jo Summers who has had “a very busy summer”.
“In June I was fortunate to have three works accepted for The Artist/Patchings exhibition and one of my paintings there won the Royal Talens Award which was great,” says Haidee-Jo.
“I also entered the Society of Women Artists annual exhibition for the first time and had a painting selected, which was on show at the Mall galleries in June.”
Haidee-Jo who was painting in Cornwall in July and France for all of August then exhibited some paintings in the mixed summer show at the Russell Gallery, Putney and the Lincolnshire Artists Society show at the Usher Gallery, Lincoln.
“My paintings have been selling well at the Harbour Gallery in Cornwall since July when Creative Coverage introduced me to this gallery. I'm also thrilled to have had a large painting selected for the Royal Society of Marine Artists exhibition, which will be on show at the Mall Galleries in October. In early summer I had an article in The Artist magazine about painting alla prima in oils and another one on painting seascapes was in the September issue. Now my autumn workshop schedule is underway, so I'm busy as ever!”
In October Haidee-Jo’s paintings can be seen at Skendleby Hall in Lincoln as part of a Creative Coverage group exhibition.
