Rosanne Guille, painter
Rosanne Guille is an artist and activist who grew up on the tiny Channel Island of Sark. In this episode, she talks about the idyllic childhood she had there, how the scenery of Sark was inspiring as a plein air painter of land and seascapes, how she became involved in a campaign to halt the over-development of the island by the billionaire Barclay Brothers, how moving to the nearby island of Guernsey saw the development of her artistic practice, and how she has responded artistically to the 80th anniversary of the Channel Islands’ liberation from the Nazis at the end of World War II.
