ABOUT THE ARTIST – DI SINGLETON

 

With no formal art training or even art classes at school, I found decorative painting quite by chance.  

It had never occurred to me that I could paint but armed with a brush, a pot of paint

and a lot of paper, I had a go and was immediately hooked.   

 

Some 20 years later, I have written four books and had numerous designs published in magazines

both in the UK and America.   As a member of the Society of Decorative Painters  (USA),

I have completed their Teacher Development Programme and am now

an accredited Teacher of Decorative Art (TDA)

 

 

ABOUT COTTAGE DESIGNS

 

As well as teaching decorative painting, Di paints a range of pieces for sale

under the Cottage Designs banner.

 

All these are individually painted and make beautiful interior décor items.

 

Di welcomes commissions and her individually designed house name plates

are always in demand.

 

 

 

I am a founder member of BADFA – The British Association of Decorative and Folk Arts.

 

BADFA introduces the techniques of decorative and folk art painting to people who may

never have painted before.   Because these types of painting are taught in

a very structured way, it is accessible to those who have never painted, feel

they never could paint as well as offering new skills to experienced artists.
