Inspired by small scenes and nature in the everyday, Zosia's work centres on natural elements with richly textured gold leaf. Bringing tactile organic surface together with multiple layers of gilding, her paintings are a celebration of the decorative object.
Venue: Village Hall
Medium: Mixed Media Painting
My original background is Architecture and I have always been a frustrated artist. I spent many an absent school day sitting on the beach drawing all day until is was time to go home for tea. When I finally managed to retire from work it gave me the chance to rekindle my desire to become an artist once more. I have a vivid imagination and many of my art pieces show this and are often referred to as whimsical art, but equally I like to draw realistic art such as wildlife. I produce both line art using ink and watercolours.
Venue: Coble Cottage, High Street
Medium: Lineart and Watercolour
