Surprise me
Meet the artist and chat with her about painting, collage, and the general business of being a professional artist.
Shyama Ruffell is a mixed-media artist using painting, collage and drawing in her multi-layered works produced in her garden studio. She says; "I’ve always loved tropical leaf shapes, especially ferns, palms and cacti. They are unashamedly bold and exotic. Linear and sharp like green fireworks they punctuate the sky and evoke in me memories from holidays of old. Then deep in the shadows there are the softer lush rippling ferns flowing out from the cool shade like green streams or in feather like plumes. Unrefined fragments of wild land hedgerows and meadows also catch my eye. I love how random patterns are created in verges and roundabouts, wind blown, tousled and untamed. I am fascinated by the light peeping through the tangled flowers, grasses and seedpods."
Come along on Thursday 7th March to admire Shyama's exhibition, meet the artist, and take the opportunity to ask her more about her process and her inspirations. The exhibition continues till Sunday 10th March.
