I’m a lover of natural forms, fine detail, colour and light.
An artist and designer from the UK, now happily based in beautiful Amsterdam, I originally trained and worked for over fifteen years as an illustrator and graphic designer. However, more recently, I was encouraged by my enduring obsession with visual culture to start integrating collage into my portfolio – one of the most fun, rewarding developments of my creative career so far.
For me, my love of collage comes from an attraction to curation: the process of bringing together disparate elements to make a coherent whole… like a visual remix that pays homage to the source material, but also obscures its original context. I love to build escapist worlds, where fresh stories and feelings emerge to be explored, and each piece has a spirit of its own. I am captivated by the human experience as it relates to nature and our environment, and I strive to make work that reflects and supports that feeling. I aspire to bring playfulness and magic into my art; a sense of wonder.
If you make art yourself of any kind, and are curious about where I find public domain and free-to-use collage resources, simply follow and drop me a message over at instagram; I would love to help!
