November 2023 – Greetings cards with a Christmas flavour are available in aid of Church Funds.   Available outside my door in Church Lane in fine weather or from my website.

Cards for Ukraine sales update 1 June 2022!
A further £1000 has gone to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal  from sales of greetings cards throughout April/May outside my cottage and including Artweeks,  A huge thank you to Charlbury and Artweeks visitors for your continued support.  Cards (including a new selection) will be available in my Open Studio/Garden during the Charlbury Festival 12-19 June.  Also available on line: www.maureensparling.co.uk/shop.

In view of the desperate situation in Ukraine this year,  I produced a new range of greetings cards, which are available to buy from my online shop.  They are sets of 6 different cards in a pack .   The proceeds from these cards will be sent to Disasters Emergency Committee Ukraine Appeal.   I am happy to report that I had a huge local response during February and March this year managed to raise enough to donate £1000 to DEC.  Thank you so much Charlbury!

  • The Disasters & Emergency Committee (DEC) is a cross charity fundraiser set up to help out those fleeing from danger during the currently Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  • DEC members and local partners are currently in the region to help identify the needs of civilians who have been forced to leave their homes as a result of violent attacks by the Russian military.  Currently, workers say that food, shelter and water is urgently needed.

Below you will see some of my recent experimentations with watercolours and progress with stone carving, which I regularly post on Instagram.
