Denise Allen

Although I have always had a passion for art and initially was attracted to painting wildlife, my love of the sea was fostered while living in Bermuda. On returning to the UK I help found the gallery Artshed, but gave up my share to concentrate on my own acrylics, watercolours and oils and to establish the painting holidays I still run in Menorca and other locations. Today, the holiday island remains an important source of inspiration, though others include the craggy coasts and wild seas of Cornwall, Suffolk and Northumberland.
