My second conversation with the lovely Anna Koska. This one is all about space, creativity, the natural world and where we draw inspiration from.
Anna is an artist specialising in fruit, vegetables and the natural world, and alongside her book illustration work, Anna is regularly commissioned by chefs and restauranteurs for food and botanical art.
Working in egg tempera, watercolour, pen & ink and oils, Anna’s deeply intuitive sensibility as a natural historian shines through in all her creative outputs which more recently include writing. Her books From Field and Forest and From Coast and Cove, which both document an artist’s year in paint and pen, and are published by Pavilion.
For more than 20 years Anna was based in rural Sussex, with her family. There she grew a bounteous quantity of fruit and vegetables and cared for three bee hives and a happy handful of chickens. I caught up with her just after she and her family uprooted and moved to a sheltered combe just inland from the tree-lined coast of South Devon, in search of new adventures.
