C307′s Ursula Kellett has exhibited in London, New York, and Tokyo, despite having only explored her passion for art relatively recently. She describes her paintings as a kind of non-textile patchwork, disregarding traditional fabrics for a variety of found materials, and combining the natural and synthetic to create something that is often unpredictable. You can view examples of her work on her website at http://www.ursulakellett.co.uk/
1. How are you finding the Chocolate Factory so far?/ What’s it like working at the Chocolate Factory?
The Chocolate Factory is a haven of tranquillity and inspiration in London.
2. How did you get into your chosen medium?/ What drew you to your
work?
I always wanted to go to Art College but only managed to go 20 years ago to Byam Shaw School of Art in London.
3. Which part of what you do would you describe as the most
important?
I love colour with a passion which I try to communicate to others.
4. If you weren’t an artist/designer, what do think you would be
doing?
I would be a gold and silversmith.
5. Any advice for aspiring artists/ designers?
It takes some time to explore all the possibilities which are available to an artist and to find out one’s real interests and inclinations but after time they do crystallize themselves. Persist.
