Canal boat art

I love the beautiful painted flowers on canal boats.

It could be said that canals are in artist Meg Gregory's blood. She works as a traditional signwriter, which includes hand-painting the beautiful and decorative script found along the side of narrow boats.

Britain's canal systems form an atmospheric network of inland waterways that wend their way across the countryside. Alan Deegan explores their origins.

I was inspired by people in the past who made the everyday objects bloom with highly decorated floral designs made that every day living spaces beautiful and inspiring. I took my inspiration from English canal barge art and used traditional colours and designs which already have a sense of being well used and well loved with slight fading in the style of printing.
