Market Marvels

Wandering down The Suffolks Market this summer I came across Maeve With Love and got chatting to lovely Maeve who upcycles clothes and designs cards and prints. 

Maeve is an Artist from West London. She originally studied a degree in Fine Art and then Theatre Costume, where she learnt the history of fashion and how to design, cut and construct costumes. Maeve started her career in London, working in West End Theatres. Her first job was as a Dresser on ‘Guys and Dolls,’ starring Patrick Swayze. As a freelancer she worked back stage at London Fashion Week and in the wardrobe department for touring music concerts for Madonna and Rhianna. She started painting again and felt a need to pursue the path of being an artist. After leaving a job she adored, she had several years to follow of numerous jobs working in arts education and the charity sector, while dedicating all her spare time to painting. During what she would describe as a long journey of trials and challenges, Maeve turned to books on 'the power of thought' and guided positive meditations. Being naturally influenced by the spiritual, self improvement movement, she started to add positive words on to her paintings with the belief that they had an energy that may benefit others.

We asked Nicola Kirkman of Dragonfly Decor Mural Designs a few nosey questions... 

1) Where are you based? 

I moved to Cheltenham in 1999 and I'm now based in a beautiful village not too far from town. I'm lucky to be here and love living in the countryside.


2) How did you get into mural design and painting? 

I feel my passion for murals was set in motion at the age of 4, when my Mum and I painted a mural on a living room wall of our new house before the decorating was done. It was so exciting to be allowed to paint pictures on the walls.


3) What do you like to do when you aren't working? 

When I'm not painting I enjoy photography, which has always been another passion. I specialised in print and photography at art college and it's continued to be a hobby ever since I was given my first camera back in the 80s.


4) Do you like to cook? 

I do like to cook, yes! Great food is so important... I may not be the best or most organised cook, but I love to have dinner get togethers and BBQs etc where everyone gets involved, we cook together and it becomes a joint effort to bring tasty food to the table.


5) What has been your most important lesson in life that you could share with our readers? 

Most important lesson in life... always follow your passion.


6) Which charity is closest to your heart and why? 

There are so many important charities, the list is endless... choosing one is difficult but I'd really like to mention New Start Cat Rescue. Run completely by volunteers and where I found my gorgeous cat Neo.


7) Who is your best friend? 

I'm blessed to have so many amazing people in my life that it's tricky to pick the one who is 'the best'. They are all the best at the same time. 


8) Favourite song? 

Yet another passion of mine... music! Life would be pointless without it. I'll pretty much dance to anything, but my favourite track of all time has to be 'Roadhouse Blues' by Jon Lee Hooker and The Doors.


9) Which mural, anywhere in the world, has inspired you?

I wouldn't say there is any one particular mural that has inspired me, but visiting San Fransisco and every single mural I saw there moved and inspired me. I returned full of excitement and inspired to get painting.


10) What book are you reading?

I'm currently reading The Artist Way by Julia Cameron.
