‘I use mixed media techniques to evoke a memory of time and place in my work. The faded grandeur of the peeling facades of Venetian palaces, revealing their echoing stories layer by layer, a glimpse into another life and time. Ornate architectural details sit alongside vintage mannequins and Victorian seaside structures. Fragments from handwritten letters, poetry and vintage wallpaper are incorporated into the collaged backgrounds of my paintings, creating surface textures which suggest the patina of age and which hint at the ethereal.’
