Artist Review – Vanessa Bowman

I am thrilled to be able to share some inspirational art and design with you every Tuesday morning as Rachael’s ‘Art and Creative Writer’. This week, I’m featuring the lovely paintings of Vanessa Bowman.

Vanessa is a contemporary artist working in oils and often taking still lives as her subject matter. She graduated from Winchester School of Art with a first class honours degree in Printed Textiles in 1993 and has won many awards for her work, including the Daler Rowney Young Artist of the Year.

She has a wonderful gift for capturing pattern, texture and colour in her paintings which celebrate the ‘simple beauty of everyday objects’.

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and see you for more inspiration in 2014! Justine x
