Painting by Iona Sanders

Iona was born in the far west of Cornwall and has spent most of her life there. Coming from an artistic background, Iona has developed her style organically; teaching herself and initially working her practice around her young family and career, before immersing herself in painting full time in her late 30s. She is highly responsive to her surroundings, selecting objects from her everyday environment, and imbuing them with a quietly observed dignity and grace of form. The objects chosen speak about the artist’s life as much as she conveys their reality to the viewer.
