Shiny Star Leonora – A beautiful, illustrated story about Leonora and her adventures in the Beautiful Garden

Looking down through a parting in the clouds, Shiny Star Leonora yearns to visit the Beautiful Garden. She catches a falling raindrop and so begins her adventure of discovery.

Light, Beauty, Sorrow, Fear and Gloom. Innocent Shiny Star Leonora meets them all. Only then does she learn who she truly is.

It was a magical night in balmy Spain, when sculptor and painter Gloria Loring looked up to the stars and this beautifully illustrated tale of Shiny Star Leonora was born.

Illustrated throughout with Gloria’s beautiful paintings, this lovely book is aimed at older children and young adults.

The Art of Invisible Landscapes: A stunning collection of art inspired by images seen through the microscope

This is a journey that takes you on an exploration of landscapes and colours evoking foreign lands and medieval stained glass windows; to views into worlds invisible to the naked eye.

Gwyneth shares her stunning paintings, etchings, drawings and photographs as she interprets the vibrant colours and patterns she has discovered in crystals and chemical compounds under the microscope.

Join the artist as she reveals the abstract patterns, intimate views and mystical landscapes she has captured for us.
