About the artist
My name is
Christine Lovelock and I live in North Devon. I paint mainly in pastels
and acrylics, but sometimes also in oils or watercolour.
I paint mainly from memory, trying to recapture
certain moments of intense experience, usually connected with the
weather and the changing light in the landscapes that I know best.

My mudrock walking boots,

The boots on the
left were made for my 2007 Exhibition, "A walk round Devon". Most of my
paintings grow out of walks that I do in the countryside, which is the
sorce of my inspiration
Before becoming an artist, I was a writer, and before that an
athlete. The photo on the
left was taken, with
two of my children, a few weeks before I won the World Veteran`s
10K Road Race Championships. I competed at distances from 800 metres to
10 miles, up to international standard, and was South Western champion
many times, under my then married name of Curthoys. I have three
children, David, Jane and Ben, now adults.
