O the summer is coming
Oil on canvas
160 x 100mm
£4,200
Cornelia trained at Royal College of Art graduating in 2006. She plays with old folklore and poetry, but in a loose and dreamlike way, drawing on tales native to the British Isles, Celtic poetry and myth. Her paintings are flat, stripped of all perspective or realism, surfaces hazy and meandering like an old tale retold a thousand times. Patterned compositions are reminiscent of old tapestries.

Sara’s exploration into ceramics, colour theory and spatial perception began with a MA at Cardiff in 2003, with ideas developing further through her PhD study in 2006.
