Margarita Sampson works predominantly in soft sculpture & contemporary jewellery. Her work is strongly influenced by her Norfolk Island background, referencing natural forms, patterns & textures, in particular underwater lifeforms.   

Penny Sasso’s preferred medium is impasto (palette knife) and resin art in larger sizes (1 sqm and above).  She finds that working with these mediums on a larger scale gives her the opportunity to express texture, colour and movement.  Although her work starts with a “vision”, the nature of the resin in its liquid form will inevitably “move” over a period of 24 hours leaving a whole new image and as such the finished piece needs to express this movement.  Whilst working on a piece she finds herself creating and re-creating the initial vision to work in harmony with the liquidity of the resin.  Likewise, to a degree, with impasto – she can create so much depth and movement with the use of palette knives and other tools. The result is always pleasing as it is so free-form and original.  You will never find another piece like it. Not even close, and that is the beauty of these fabulous mediums.  Everyone who views her art will see a different image. She finds it fascinating how the human brain works and tries to interpret and analyse what it sees.
