Description:
I have been creative all my life many producing craft items using fibres.

After attending college and successfully completing various modules through Hull University, I moved into Art. I am a professional collage artist working with Acrylic paints, textiles, papers and found objects showing my work locally and throughout Europe.

I am strongly influenced by the Environment around me. Whilst my subject matter is flowers I do not consider myself a flower painter as my work is about “life” the flowers are the “Mode of transport”.

The inspiration for my Collage and Painting come from the Colours, Textures and Pattern I find in the Landscape around me, particularly in Flora. Through my awareness of my surroundings I explore life and regeneration through the changing colours and forms of the annual cycle of growth and it's mortality. In the minutae of Flower head, leaf, petal and seed head observed throughout the year I locate the textures, shape and colours that inspire me.

The pieces are created by distressing fabrics and papers which are layered many times to create the image. my work is completed to an excellent archival standard.
