Tell us a little bit about yourself...
Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina and brought up in Barcelona, Spain. After living in the heart of London for many years, I am now living in the English countryside with my husband, Matt (we met in Buenos Aires, Argentina) and our two rescue cats, Kato and Woody. We are currently finalizing a very long adoption process so our lives are going to be very different in a couple of months!!
Where do you live?
I am a city girl at heart and miss the big smoke a lot. We live 40 minutes by road from London in the middle of a forest. Sometimes when I’m making a coffee in the morning and see a deer in my garden I realize how lucky I am to live in such a magical place!
How did you get to where you are now with your work?
I come from a very creative family and owe a lot to my mother who has always been a great inspiration with all of her unstoppable creations through the years.
I Studied Art and Design and after a long career in designing and making hats for celebrities, high society events like Royal Ascot, Henley on Thames Royal Regatta and Buckingham Palace garden parties, I decided to follow my heart and go back to University to study Photography and Cultural studies.I then took the path of starting my business producing photographic images for companies such as Liberty London, Selfridges, Hallmark and more.
Now I combine my time with painting and photography.
What inspires you when you paint?
I get my inspiration from everything that I’m surrounded with. My travels, Yoga and meditation-I see my images as a visual story book of my life.
Tell us about your work...
I currently work independently for major clients on commissioned projects to license images onto various products worldwide such as wall decor and stationery. My images can be also purchased by independent clients through my online shops.
Having a love for home decor I have created a range of prints from affordable mini abstract canvases, standard prints, large posters and canvas to brighten up people’s homes.
Prints are personally hand printed by me in my studio using archival Epson Matt paper to last a lifetime and large posters are professionally printed to
brighten up people’s homes.
I also have another Etsy shop where I sell my photographs. https://rossananovellaphoto.Etsy.com
