Branch Arts @ Chloes, Charlbury

Sonia Wise paints intuitively – often acrylic on rough boards but at times, when the image will benefit from a 3D quality, with collage and mixed media.

Combining bright, overtly joyful colours and simple forms, Sonia’s works have the directness and veracity of Naïve or Outsider Art. Although representing everyday objects in the tradition of still-life paintings, her pieces have a mature charm and humour often lost by formal artistic education.

Jelly Green is a contemporary British-New Zealand artist, protégé of Maggi Hambling, painter and protector of trees.

Jelly spent the majority of her early life in Melbourne, Australia before moving back to England in 1999. Her work is defined by her passion for the natural world, particularly the earth’s forests.

These are Jelly’s first, limited edition etching prints published by Branch Arts.
