Most people have heard of Stonehenge but there is another rock formation that can be found in the hills of Dartmoor National Park called Spinsters Rock, a Neolithic burial chamber erected around 3000 BC. There are many legends about this stone formation that adds to its mystery and intrigue. The legend I like the most is the following: There were once three local spinsters living nearby. These were not spinsters in the sense of single ladies but ’spinsters’ in the woollen sense, i.e. wool spinners. One morning before breakfast the three ladies set out to take their spun wool to the local ‘jobber’ (wool trader). The stones had long since collapsed and when they passed the spot where the fallen monument stood, they decided to spend some time re-erecting three granite slabs which were like the walls of a house of cards. The Spinsters capped them with a huge granite slab stone leaving us with the ‘Spinster’s Rock’. How they managed to lift the huge capstone is open to speculation and a sense of magic and wonder. Mixed media painting created with acrylics, ink, spray paint, crayons, collage and a professional paint varnish for UV protection.

I started out as an artist after a life-changing personal experience which opened up my creative abilities and led me to painting as a career. I have now been a professional artist for the last 10 years. My training started with various courses at the college and local workshops. This led to displaying various pieces in local exhibitions as well as international online art websites. After a few years intensive work I have sold paintings to private collectors around the world including the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, The Middle East, and Singapore. It gives me tremendous personal satisfaction in knowing that a broad spectrum of people appreciate and value my art. My art is inspired by the magical world we live in, the beautiful countryside around me and a dream-like inspiration applied to the paintings. Using oils, acrylics and mixed media mediums I now focus on abstract landscapes, fantasy and mixed media creations employing brushwork, palette knife, collages, stencils, and mark-making tools. I really like telling a story through my art which inspires the viewer and triggers their imagination. I also run art courses to help people unlock their creative talents and unleash their inner artist within. For further information explore my website. Warm regards Galina
