Dawn Reader (@dawn_reader ) will be demonstrating alongside a myriad of expert artisans and artists, painters and Stainers May 14-16 @paintershalllondon during @londoncraftweek Do visit the ‘Restoration & Revival - elevations of the hand crafted surface’ to hear talks and see how we craft and make it. Please see previous post… I have always loved wildlife, especially birds. I find they have a unique way of bringing a positive emotive feeling to my work. When I paint, there’s always a storyline, admittedly in my head, regarding the interaction between flora and fauna. This year’s event will be a series of demonstrations and talks that showcase the expertise and professional experience of our members across the whole spectrum of craft, decoration and restoration - pigment making, wood graining, marbling and trompe l’oeil, fine-art picture framing, gilding, chinoiserie, japanning, gilded botanical art, wallpaper and lincrusta restoration, stencilling, calligraphy, illumination, painting conservation and painted cloth - the original, medieval technique of ‘staining’, from which the Company derives its name. Our event will be complemented by a panel discussion on Saturday 16th at 2pm with our very own Lucia Scalisi, Gerry Alabone, Paul Humphreys and Stephen Levrant debating the art and challenge of conservation / restoration. Painters Hall, 9 Little Trinity Lane, London EC4V 2AD #painterstainers #londonexhibitions #decorativearts #londoncraftweek #liverycompany

Dawn Reader (@dawn_reader ) will be demonstrating a Chinoiserie style of decorative painting that can be applied directly to walls and other hard surfaces Having completed an MA at Chelsea College of Art in 1991, and exhibiting since 1989, I’ve been painting professionally for high end interior design companies worldwide for over 30 years. My work is predominantly in private residencies, castles, chateaux and hotels. (Due to NDAs I can’t say where!) I paint in every medium and have a fluid style so I can hopefully meet every client’s brief. I’m thrilled to be invited this year to take part in ‘Restoration and Revival - elevation of the hand crafted surface’ during @londoncraftweek at the stunning @paintershalllondon .

Little landscape painted as a homage for a friend who once walked this earth with me. I do love painting the light, even when tempted to paint it black. #dawnreader #oilpainting #originalartwork #interiordesigner #interiorstylist Find me @freshartfair at the end of April.

‘Circle of light’… 40 cms diameter now being shown @art.andhorseracing Gallery in Newmarket First ever painting in the round. Thought it a challenge to actually paint as it rolls around with every brushstroke! However I do like the result as it gives a different lens onto perspective. All paintings available online in the ‘Suffolk Skies’ section #artforsale #oilpaintings #dawnreader #interiordecor #interiorstylist
