Roselle Angwin

Roselle grew up in the Westcountry, and she takes inspiration from its land- and seascapes, as well as from the Hebrides. Sometimes her work will draw on an element of the environment and reach towards more abstract creative expression, relying as much on imagination, feeling and memory as on the outer world. As a professional poet she increasingly finds that painting starts where words end. Her work has been shown in a number of mixed exhibitions in the Westcountry.
