New Artists Showcasing at Rest in 2025
In 2025, you can find unique works of art at Rest by incredible local artists
Romi Shadler Reingold
After 20 years of teaching in Sussex, Romi left the profession due to poor health and bought herself a kiln! With guidance & insights from artists Janine Partington & Jessica Melville Brown she gradually set up a home studio to explore & develop experiments in enamel. The processes, materials & never ending testing & cleaning kept her busy & motivated when she most needed it.
The endless colour combinations with
opaques, transparencies & painterly
layering in enameling led her to develop
series in both compositions & sculptural
forms, with endless possibilities.
