|  |  | My name is Heather Price. I've been in the Printing Industry for 24 years. My logo is a (very) old photograph of me, running my first retail outlet! My first sale appears to be to my brother Richard, who is now my business partner. We run the family print business, Artisan Print with our parents, Margaret and Royden Price. The company was established in 1982 and has developed from a traditional Lithographic Printers to a Copy Shop and Digital Colour Printers. We are very enthusiastic about entering this new era of printing, with it's versatility, short print-runs and quick turn-around times. But stop me, I'm beginning to sound like a trade magazine! Many of the Art Prints and Paintings used for the stationery sold in Heather's-On-Line-Store have been painted by Royden Price, my father and Florrie Price, my late Grandmother. The painting below is a self portrait of Royden Price, painted quite recently. The photograph below is Florrie Price and was taken in the 1950's. | | | |
| | Royden Price 1931 - Royden Price now in his mid-seventies was born in Smethwick in the West Midlands. He started a five year apprenticeship as a Lithographic Artist when he was 16 years old, studying in the evenings at the Birmingham School of Art. Encouraged and assisted by his mother Florrie, a talented artist, he started to draw and paint, (mainly in oils), for pleasure in addition to his commercial work. Photography began to play an important role in earning a living, but he continued to paint mainly for pleasure in his spare time. At this time the Acrylic medium was introduced and he found this new medium suited his technique of detailed, realistic, traditional paintings. This can be seen in the many wildlife and British bird paintings produced over many years. Landscapes, retrospective images, trains, planes and portraits are amongst the many subjects which have caught Royden's interest and he is still painting today. | |  | | | |
