ROZANNE BELL



Rozanne Bell

Born in Zimbabwe in 1962 Rozanne lived & exhibited her work all over South Africa. As her style has evolved she has developed a strong international following. In 2002, the political climate in Zimbabwe necessitated Rozanne's move to England. The ability to adapt to a new environment coupled with her determination to succeed has created strong demand for her work here in the UK.

'Ever since I first picked up a paint brush with my mother as a little girl, the compulsion to paint has dominated my life. I know that the extraordinary colours, light and contrasts of Zimbabwe where I grew up and had to leave twelve years ago, are to blame. Art became and has ever been my friend, supporting my children and me throughout. Starting with exhibitions of animals and flowers at the age of sixteen I have expanded my repertoire to include landscapes and country scenes, harbours, twilight and moon light scenes and even space and galaxy paintings. Ever conscious of those who like and buy my work, and delivering true value to them, I have not succumbed to the temptations of limited editions or mass market prints. Each picture I paint is an original with no one painting being the same as another.'
