Hey, I’m Cozza.

For those who know me, this won’t surprise you, and for those who don’t, you’ll work it out pretty quickly as you flick through my website. I’m obsessed with patterns, especially the ones Mother Nature makes.

I also collect the minerals she grows, and my favourites have these little branching patterns inside them. They’re called dendrites. It’s the same shape you see in trees, lightning, river deltas from above, even in our own lungs. Pretty cool, right?

I’ve been painting these dendrite shapes for years, with acrylics and inks, and I still have almost no control over how they turn out. Most people who look at my work don’t mention dendrites though. They tell me they see mountains, rivers, coral, sometimes even animals or faces. That’s the best part. I make the pattern while everyone else finds the picture.

I hope you find something you love.
