Josephine Wall

The art of painting to Josephine Wall is much more than just a career. It is an all-consuming obsession and a passionate love of colour and form. Since the age of four, she has always known that there was nothing else she wanted to do.

She has so many images in her mind that it is a race against time to produce all of them. Hence she likes to use fast-drying acrylics, which allow her to paint more quickly than the traditional oil medium and also to create many different textured and colourful effects.

Josephine produces images which are not only pleasing to the eye, but also contain hidden messages or a thought provoking statement. She paints in great detail and nearly always hides creatures, faces and other items within the painting, adding ongoing mystery and interest to her wide and varied range of work.

Her paintings, though mainly fantasies, are based on close observation and sketching from nature, the preservation of which is a subject very close to her heart.
