Elzbieta Harbord is an artist living in West Sussex, recently she completed a drawing project which used Pallant House Gallery as inspiration.

Elzbieta’s words;

” I visited Pallant House Gallery and viewed the galleries. I took sketches and images of work by John Piper and Graham Sutherland. I chose these artists as their work depicted visionary, imaginative, spiritual thoughts. My research took me to visit Chichester Cathedral where I viewed John Piper’s massive tapestry titled ‘The Trinity’ and while I was taking images, sketches and taking notes I prayed for inspiration.

I wanted to combine this with the work I researched at the Visitation Convent in France where my twin is a nun – I attempted to translate all this into a pictorial narrative, expressing a spiritual, religious, visionary, imaginative setting with text. My theme is Heaven and Hell. I felt the atmosphere and movement of the experience of this project projected in my drawings and studio work.”
