My inspiration for my creative practice is fueled by a passion and a desire to explore the environment around us, looking for the fleeting ephemeral traces of our footprints in society.
I use old and discarded objects and obscure and decayed architecture as a starting point. I then combine and assemble the found objects along with distressed fabrics, paper manipulation, plaster, stitch, and wire to create a personal response in which I reflect not only on the tactile nature of the materials but also on the underlying meaning of using found materials to create new art from old.
I am particularly interested in searching for vintage envelopes and dressmaking items and exploring typography along side collage and drawing.
Most recently, I have looked to develop my practice by combining new media techniques with the craft based element of my work to create installation-based textiles, which includes multi media processes.
Original paintings, collages, collage books and textiles pieces are available for sale. If you are interested please email via bubblemail or visit my website below.
