Rosella Garavaglia

I studied fine arts in Italy, my native country, where my professional journey began as a textile artist, until I relocated to London in 1981. My career started with Textile Design and then Lettering and Calligraphy. My free-lance work includes letter design and pen and brush-written inscriptions on paper and cloth. My main interest as a lettering artist has been to explore the expressive power of the written word through various media and writing implements. My recent practice has evolved to include abstract painting, mono printing, and collage through which I explore the language of colour, mark making and texture. By being in the present with each brush stroke or gesture, I express visually what goes on within my sphere of experience, physical or emotional, hoping to inspire and share with the viewer a contemplative involvement with my paintings or artworks.
