Leonie Bos- Snape Maltings

"Last summer Leonie was commissioned by Silk Pearce to undertake an artist residency at Snape Maltings. The first step was an initial visit to the venue to get inspiration which Leonie would call upon to produce a series of artworks for various events at the venue.
These images are the first instalment of her efforts which are currently being used to promote Aldeburgh Festival in June. Check out the Snape Maltings website for further details and of course to see Leonie's work in all its glory. More to come!"

Artist Interview – Anna Koska

 

Specialising in fruit, vegetables and the natural world, Anna has illustrated over 100 books and worked with chefs, writers and publishers from around the globe.

Over her 25 year career Anna has honed her skills in watercolour, pen & ink, oils and most recently, egg tempera. Her methods may vary but the joy of her artwork is constant; each piece she creates is a celebration of the fruit, vegetable or animal she has captured with her inimitable flare.

 

Anna achieves all of this against a backdrop of rural living, all recorded in her daily instagram post, which her 5,000 plus followers have come to adore. Her illustration work is inextricably linked with her way of life, Anna meets the ups and downs of a self sufficient lifestyle with a smile, embracing each challenge as it comes. An attitude she has also applied to her illustration career.

Constantly evolving, honing her craft and listening to the market, Anna's determination has secured her place as one of the UK's leading natural history illustrators. We spoke with Anna about the beauty of working traditionally, her seemingly idyllic lifestyle and the joy she gets from her work.
