Could you tell us about the work you will be showing during
this year's E17 Art Trail?
I have called my
exhibition 'Joss Rossiter and Dogs Dogs Dogs' as I am showing my unique,
whimsical, fun doggies this year.
How have you been preparing for this year's trail?
I am a dog lover
and sometimes when I do my whimsical face/family portraits, people ask me to
include their dogs.
So I started
painting only doggies (and some kitties too). They have become very popular and
I now get commissions from all over the world for my doggies.
Penny Fielding saw
them and loved them all, and suggested we show these at this year's Art Trail.
Could you tell us about an an artist/ artwork that particularly inspires you?
I am a Picasso lover, always was and always
will be. I also love Modigliani, Hundertwasser and Van Gogh.
How does inhabiting a community like Walthamstow help your
practice?
My son and family
have lived in Walthamstow for the past 8 years, so we spend a lot of time
there. As a new artist I participated in the last E17 Art Trail (at the Deli
Cafe), which was a huge success. I met so many wonderful people, including
Penny Fielding
who inspired me and motivated me to continue doing what I
loved so much. Art Art Art.
Do you have a highlight from the past 9 years of the E17 Art Trail?
My personal highlight from the last E17 Art Trail was being
around so many artistic people, who work so hard to follow their dreams and
struggle to earn some money along the way. It is an artistic community that
shares and cares, that helps each other and that is growing at a great speed,
and I am so thrilled to be part of it.
I am looking forward to exhibiting in Penny Fielding's
fabulous gallery once more (I was in their Summer show last year where both my
paintings sold), and to showing my wonderful vibrant doggies (and kitties) to
you all.
