Cecilia Russell
I am a New Zealand artist, based in Kapiti, New Zealand.
I started creating these wordy artworks way back in 1994. They've been going strong for 30 years - ever since the first image in the series (Lost For Words in Enzed) was published.
Am I the first in the world to create artworks made entirely of words? As far as I know, I'm still the only one who makes them this way, but also probably the only one bananas enough to do it!
These iconic Kiwi images have found homes around the world, and are a hit with both young and old.

The Lost For Words prints are a fun project alongside my more serious art career - which has included illustration, graphic arts and education, and later on painting, drawing and portraiture.
