This week the spotlight is on Anna Clarke, one of the local artists selling their fabulous creations at Bookham Country Market. A veritable cornucopia of one-off and exclusive gift ideas, her range includes:
- beautiful felted pictures made using the ancient art of wet felting
- jewellery and accessories including cuff bracelets, necklaces, children's hair clips, bags and brooches
- pet portraits from your own photograph
- limited edition paintings
Drawing inspiration from nature and colour, Anna's love of the natural world stems from memories of the dramatic, rugged scenery surrounding her childhood home in Bulgaria. Largely self-taught, she honed her skills at the University of the Arts London Central St Martins and London City College. Now living in Surrey, she combines a busy family life with selling at various galleries, Bookham Country Market and other venues.
We're sure you'll find some inspiring gift ideas from Anna - to meet the artist herself and find out more, come along to the Market on Fridays from 10.15-11.30am at the Old Barn Hall in Bookham, or visit her website www.artyana.co.uk.
