Tanya Vanessa Foster Is a Fine Art Painter, living and working in the UK. She was born in Nottingham in 1972, to an artist mother and musician father. She studied at Lincoln, Loughborough and The Slade School of Art, London.

Her first solo show in Repton in 1993, was followed by showings at The Raw Art Gallery in London in 1994, The Byard Gallery, Nottingham in 1995 and a series of private shows. After a reclusive decade, in which she sold her work almost exclusively to existing clients, she returned to public exhibiting with an acclaimed show at The Festival International de Musique de Chambre en Charente, France 2011, winning the George Thornton Prize at the Castle Open Exhibition in Nottingham, 2012.

She joined The Fletcher Gate Art Gallery in 2013. Her series of work ranges widely from the figurative to the abstract, from coastal and urban to narrative, the common thread being the desire to distil an intimate sense of time and place through the heightened use of movement, colour and focus.

She is an inveterate traveller and over the last six years her painting has begun to reflect her experiences around the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly Cyprus, Istanbul and Eastern Turkey. Tanya has recently embarked on a new series of London paintings, rekindling an old love for the city and its people that was born during her time at the Slade.

Andorra, a small principality located in th Pyrenees, has only recently become renown as a commercial tourist attraction after centuries of pastoral sleepiness, facing a population explosion and economic boom few other such countries can hope to equalize both for the good and the bad.On the evening of a popular holiday in 1972 the ancient Romanesque Sanctuary caught fire and was destriyed. The building complex were left in blackened ruins, survived only by the original apse and vaulting over the altar and laterday belltower.The task of rebuilding the Sancturay could not be reduced to an archeological labor, simply returning the fallen stones to their original position; nor could the strong influence of the local architectural character and landscape be ignored. The decision to continue along the historical path of Romanesque imagery in theory while applying modern building techniques and designs in practice was also based on the vision that the project had to go further than its program, acting as a counter structure to the environmental degradation inherent in unplanned territories and proposing a way of building in Andorra resulting from its past.The two major elements of this project are the viaduct bridge and the Sanctuary, although other elements on the line are as symbolically important such as (from East to West) the concave amphitheater, the giant steps, the bridge over the road, the climbing towers, the vaulting arches, the esplanade, the convex theate, the gushing fountain, the sculpted colonnade and the ride through the forest. The Sanctuary is now built with all its dependencies, manifesting a clear hint of projected continuation in the unfinished arches poised over the valley waiting to connect up with the future bridge.Inspiration grew from the original Romanesque sources through to the Albertian and Palladian neopythagorean use of square roots and circles, including the additions of certain Catalan-Mudejar insinuations.The project drawings relate plan, section, and façade through a harmonic scheme based on symbolic numerology and the relationship of basic measurement on the site and of the program. Outside the building consciously a Romanesue continuation, a form belonguing to the black mountain wrapped in mythical vegetation, most evidently a part of a small hamlet in which it rests, capturing the architectural philosophy of such other Andorran temples, but very much aware of its different scale.The entire surroundings of the Sanctuary were designed in a separate and late project and have now been finished. The design involved all paved surfaces, walkways, balustrades, steps, ramps, parking, etc. all landscaping involving the re-planting of the surrounding countryside. Finally the remodelling and modernization of the old and derelict buildings in the area to be used as support dependencies.
