Art Island S1E10: Vass Éva Rozsa - Artist

In Episode 10 of Art Island, Season 1, filmmaker Zsofin Sheehy sits down with Vass Éva Rozsa, a one-of-a-kind artist who makes anything, and everything, she sets her mind to. Through her studio, garden, and the bounty of inspiration on Hornby Island, we follow Éva and learn more about her life and the fearless way she approaches making. From jewellery and hats to drawing, painting, and clay sculpture, Éva shows that an art practice is one of continual learning, cross-pollinating ideas and methods, and trusting one's inner vision.
[About Vass Éva Rozsa]
Vass Éva Rozsa embraces the weird and the whimsical, the unconventional and non-conforming wonders of our world in her artwork. Born in Hungary and now based on Hornby Island, Éva’s artistic practice is life-long and ever-evolving, constantly incorporating the new materials, techniques, stories and characters she is inspired by. Her work across media, including illustration, painting, sculpture, dance, weaving, and costuming teaches us to follow our curiosities and colour outside of the lines.
