Lines of Beauty by Venetia Norris

About

Venetia Norris has created a collection of original drawings. Her love of the natural world and keen observation act as the foundation for her artwork. Inspired by striking orchid forms, she communicates the delicate yet resilient personality of the plant. Drawing from life Venetia enjoys the process of layering marks onto a surface through varying the pressure, direction, amount of ink, speed, movement and paper. She combines colourful fluid brush strokes with considered bold marks. Her artwork constructs an intricate maze of lines exploring the inherent beauty of the orchid. Venetia is inspired by the world around her. Since the age of five she has been recording her surroundings and thoughts in sketchbooks. Drawing almost every day, she currently lives and works in South London. For more information please visit: www.venetianorris.com
