Really enjoyed the retrospective of Doreen’s work at the Nunnery Gallery. I live in Bethnal Green so it was fascinating seeing how the East End has changed. There’s a quiet melancholy to her work, that I enjoy. I particularly loved the drawing of her parents outside their terraced house, and the drawing of the trees in the park. She should exhibit more drawings. She sounds like a very nice, very modest woman and it’s heartwarming that she’s finally getting some recognition. Well done for bringing her to the attention of the wider public.

There is s much light, so much warmth and care in Doreen Fletcher’s work. Hardly any actual people are shown yet to me it seems her work is all about people, about destinies and lives lived right there, unseen.
A stunning body of work deserving a place in the canon of great british art.

Doreen has captured the spirit and soul of the East End of London through her wonderful paintings. Her work reflects the atmosphere so vividly.
She is absolutely brilliant, a very competent artist who deserves success.
I am going to the Nunnery Gallery tomorrow and I very much look forward to that.

Oh, how I wish I was going to be in London to see this exquisite exhibition of Doreen’s work. But, alas, I will not be visiting London until October. I too paint subjects that I hope give the viewer an experience of place, as Doreen’s clearly do. Her pictures speak to me. Much deserved success to Doreen.

Was fascinated by this interview, it’s beautifully written and expressed. I’m a cityscape painter living in New York City and also have witnessed the demise of the character of the old neighborhoods here. I wish that I could visit the exhibition and see Doreen’s heartfelt paintings. Love especially the moody atmospheric ones….and Mill End Park with Canal. I wish Doreen the best of luck and success.

Wish I could get to see her wonderful work but have ordered the book to make up for it.

A wonderful body of work.
Thank you for capturing not only the images but also the spirit of the ‘disappearing East End’. I look forward to visiting The Nunnery Gallery very soon.
My late brother was an artist and he also had ideas about mixing the perfect black.
I once holidayed in Bideford, Devon and he had me trying every gallery and art shop to track down some famous ‘Bideford Black’……….without success.
Doreen, I wish you every success for the future, you deserve it.

A pleasure to read, thank you! I will be in London mid March and won’t miss the opportunity to see Doreen’s fascinating work.

Doreen’s work is great. I very enjoy looking looking at her paintings and the observations that she makes of the world.
