I am an artist who designs greetings cards and other printed items which I print myself in Wiltshire

My name is Abby Gray and I am an artist, photographer and author. I have a shop here on folksy I have had a stall at multiple different arts and crafts fairs in different parts of the UK, selling my cards and books, which are also available at some cafes and shops in Wiltshire - such as the Cotswolds Courtyard, Honeystreet Mill Cafe, National Trust in Avebury, the All Cannings Village Shop, and the Crystal Clear shop in Pewsey.

I enjoy making my pictures of animals and landscapes, as well as experimenting with combining different mediums or techniques. I mainly use acrylic or watercolour, and I'm also trying to get more into calligraphy. I have also dabbled with oil pastels; charcoal pastels (black, and the coloured ones); oil paint, and stamps. I have my studio dedicated to hanging up my favourite pieces of artwork - and also the artwork of four dear friends who have sent me their works over the years. I know that artisits often don't get along, but for me, I think that it is important to get along with everyone, including other artists - showing genuine interest in other people's works and success can often be beneficial to oneself, since one might get new knowledge or inspiration for one's own art.

I have been an artist since I was young, and the same goes for my English Language skills - despite having learning dififculties as a child. Despite this, I have got a BSc in Psychology from Bucks New University in High Wycombe (2017 - 2020), and an MSc in Positive Psychology from the same university (2020 - 2023). I am known for my love of chickens, because during the years that my family kept the 12 silver link pullets (2011 -2017) and the four adopted ex-barn hens (2014 - 2022) , were the times when I looked after them and spent time with them. They were the only pets I ever had (aside from goldfish in a garden pond) and my love of their intelligence and character is immortalised in my artwork and photography.

On this shop, you will find examples of my many card designs, as well as some of my favourite photographs.

Hopefully, you will find what you are looking for on this website.
