04.01.2022 Eliza Piro's work is attracting alot of attention for the bold and beautiful colours and designs. Scarves are made of mulberry silk! Come on in if you haven't caught up with the buzz yet. Eliza says of her artwork, "Working in acrylic paint and watercolour, I work by adorning my canvases with intricate patterns and motifs, which I liken to how an embroiderer would a tapestry. My process combines dot and layering and masking techniques, resulting in artworks that have been described by others as 'rich in colour and detail." I hope you will see my range and decide for yourself!" You can view Eliza's artwork in the Pepper Street Artist of The Month profile spot, located in our gift shop, throughout November.
