Making an impression

One sales consultant in Westbury has shown true dedication to her role – by putting her ‘art’ and soul into her work. Angie Cotterill is part of the sales team at Redrow’s popular Lakelands Edge development and has provided a helping hand by adorning the brand new show home with her original artwork.

The budding artist, who lives in Lower Vobster, has combined her working life with her hobby and added her own personal touch to the Malham show home.

Angie says: “I have always loved art and continued to paint after completing my degree in fine art at Staffordshire University. I was asked to create some artwork for the show home after my manager found out about my interest.

“Now there are eight pieces set to be displayed. It’s so nice to combine two important aspects of my life and I hope visitors to the Malham enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoyed creating it.”

The show home, which will launch this weekend (April 7th), showcases Angie’s talent.

Lorraine Kendrick, sales director for Redrow Homes (South West), says: “Home buyers at Lakelands Edge will be motivated by Angie’s artwork, which decorates various walls throughout the show property and adds a homely feel, enabling potential buyers to picture life at this popular development. To be able to fuse a great sales technique with artistic flair is a fantastic achievement and we are proud to unveil Angie’s work.”

The paintings, which are landscapes inspired by the surrounding Wiltshire countryside, reflect and enhance the colours used in the design of the property.

Redrow’s chosen interior design company, Connections in Design, were stirred by the lake overlooked by the development into creating a tranquil look for the new show house.

Welcoming guests with a textured, wood effect wallpaper in the hall, with floral green fabric to dress the windows, the calming theme continues in the lounge with woven effect raffia wallpaper and soft upholstered sofas in delicate colours of duck egg blue, pale green, cream and stone.

In the kitchen the show home’s soothing ‘earth’ style is complemented with green and cream wallpaper, co-ordinating green cushions and a contemporary glass and chrome table to optimise space with the latest contemporary look.
