Vanna Art is run by local artist Vanna Bartlett and has been trading since 2007, selling greetings cards, prints, coasters and placemats, as well as original paintings. The comprehensive range of cards includes photographs by Vanna’s husband Jeremy, many featuring the North Norfolk Coast but also some Shropshire woodland studies.

Vanna specialises in fine detail watercolour studies of fruit, vegetables and flowers. All of her subjects are painted from life and many of them she grows herself on her allotment on the City’s Bluebell Allotment Site where she and Jeremy have been gardening organically since 1999.

Vanna also paints in acrylics – from small intimate flower portraits to large canvases depicting plants and wildlife in the landscape. Having spent several years doing voluntary conservation work around Norfolk, she has a great appreciation and understanding of the intricate connections between the local wildlife and their habitats and explores this in her work.
