Inspired by nature, and interiors, Vanessa’s work celebrates the everyday. An exploration of colour, shape and textures, Vanessa’s still life acrylic paintings are vibrant scenes created to evoke memories of times spent together from the significant to those moments alone. Using an eclectic mix of found objects, textures and fabrics, to bring it all together, Vanessa paints compositions that are a toast to the everyday enjoyment of life.
‘Creating has always been a way to escape, and be at peace. I find so much joy in painting, and I want to share that with everyone.’
