Gillian is a founder member of Artworks and each year also exhibits with Suffolk Open Studios and Norfolk Arts. Gillian Crossley-Holland writes: As an artist, I like the physical edges that form on the surface of my paintings, the unexpected marks that happen between one plane and another. It’s one of the reasons I like working with oil pastels, they are such a versatile medium and allow me to play and make marks instantly.
