Margaret Shaw - About Me

I've always liked pictures.  As a child I played for hours with a camera (no film in it as it was expensive to have photos developed then). 

I liked art at secondary school but didn't like the art teachers so didn't pursue art to examination levels.  Then one holiday some years ago I took an introductory watercolour class, realised "I can do this", and became hooked.  Now I paint & draw using a variety of media, dependent on the subject and effects I want to achieve. 

Over the years I've had a selection of cameras as my photographic skills have developed.  Now I have my "big camera" for the serious shoots.  I find pleasure capturing and sharing some of the beauty in the world as I encounter it
