| Kosana is a Scottish artist based in Fife. She studied art and design in Glasgow after completing her secondary education and, after a break from the arts, returned to study fine art at Edinburgh College of Art in the 1991.
She takes her inspiration from nature; surroundings, colour, light and texture all play a part in helping her to create contemporary paintings using acrylic, mixed media and watercolour. Her subject matter varies dependent on her mood at the time, ranging from landscapes to abstract. She also enjoys figurative work.
She doesn't work from sketch books, preferring to work from reality, photographs or memories. Her paintings start as a rough idea in her mind's eye when a basic colour palette is also decided. However, from that point on, the rest of the painting evolves spontaneously on the canvas until completion.
Kosana has her work in private collections throughout the UK, Europe,USA and New Zealand. The NHS also purchased 9 paintings for permanent display at a local hospital. She exhibits throughout the year at a variety of venues/galleries. Kosana welcomes enquiries or commissions.
