Georgia Rowswell
I come from a family that appreciates the value ,craftsmanship and personal expression of an object beautifully made. These qualities were instilled in me as I grew and learned to appreciate, "The irregular and intimate quality of things made entirely by the human hand". *
My years as an artist have taken me through many different media and each experience has helped to bring me to where I am now,
For the past several years I have been exploring mixed media with a focus on handmade paper. I love to layer, to build the surface, making it rich with texture and color. I love to make art that catches your eye from a distance and then compels you to come closer and ask, "How did she do that" ?
I gather inspiration from the world around me. It could be from nature, or the written word or from a trip to the market or the museum. I never know where my next idea will flow from so I simply keep my eyes open and my sketch pad ready.!
It is my hope that the art I make will encourage others to look more closely at the world around them. To slow down and keep their eyes and minds wide open and wondering.
