Rosanne Guille

Rosanne Guille has been nominated for the award for her work exploring the fishermen community of Guernsey through art. 
‘Her art conveys the spirit of the fishing community, and a beautiful representation of Guernsey life,’ said nominator Esmee Byrne. 
After spending months studying the fishermen of Guernsey, she decided to portray them in her art exhibition exploring their role on the island. 
‘Rosanne stands out from other artists because she feels a deep connection to the work she does and you can see it in the pieces she produces. In her most recent work she has built connections with her subjects, learnt their stories and tells them with her art. Her paintings are experiences,’ said Miss Byrne. 
Mrs Guille said: ‘I enjoy the freedom to be creative and live a creative life.' 
She is heavily involved with art around Guernsey and is currently working on an exhibition with the Artists of Nature Foundation about Alaska. 
Mrs Guille explained that she has been painting for as long as she can remember and that it was natural for her to progress into college where she studied art further. 
‘I am very grateful and proud to be nominated, and I am glad that people are enjoying what I do,’ she said.
