Lucia Colella's Art Collection
Lucia paints but prefers to draw because it is an immediate and raw response. Which can create some beautiful paintings. She draws intuitively and doesn't question herself. She doesn't prepare more than cutting a piece of paper and opening up her box of pastels.

She also did a foundation course in Art at North Oxfordshire College & school of art ( now Active Learning).
