About Annie Sofiano in her own words:
As a mature student studying for my BA Art History degree, I rediscovered the New York Abstract Expressionist movement and I was hooked!
I relate to the vibrancy, the innovative approach and the ground-breaking works of these artists.
These works have influenced my style of painting – colourful splashes that have many interpretations – for me they convey joy, lightness and hope – energies that may be experienced by the viewer.
My background is in interior design, working with beautiful fabrics and creating exciting colour schemes for clients.
In complete contrast my partner and I moved to Mallorca to start a small country house Bed and Breakfast. While caring for the needs of happy holiday makers I still found time to paint, gaining inspiration from the light and beauty of the Mallorca countryside and coast. The hotel also gave me the opportunity to showcase my work and the guests loved it!
We had a great time there, but after 18 years we felt it was time to return to the UK and settled in Hordle, near Milford on Sea in 2021.
As well as painting canvases, I also designed and painted the scenery for the Village Pantomime in 2023 and I am looking forward to doing next years' scenery backdrops.
At last I feel that I have the time to devote to my art, exploring and developing new ideas.
I am happy to accept commissions. Just give me an idea of colours and we can go from there.
Another hilarious night of comedy is coming, featuring top acts at The Bridge on Thursday 231st August 2023.
Tickets: £17.50 including one course meal. Bar open on night.
This month’s jazz guests at JAM on Friday 28th July at 8pm are Five Star Swing.
Local historian, Bob Braid then informed us that similar Benchmarks were on the derelict White Horse Pub, All Saints' Church, and other locations around the village.
Bob's interest now sparked, he set out, with a hint of a challenge, to photograph Benchmarks on his walks around the village.
As Bob say; "Probably not remotely interesting to anyone else, but it kept me quiet for a while".
