Bringing to life people, places, and feelings through collage.
My work brings together analog collage and intricate painting, taking inspiration from my photography, Indian travels, people, and pets. When a commission is received, I take into account the colours, feeling, and aesthetic, trying to capture the character of the prompt or simply use my own inspiration from my thoughts and travels around the world.
In addition to original collages I am launching hand embellished limited edition Giclee prints.
Each print is handprinted and gold leaf producing unique images
Who am I?
I have always been involved in the Arts, whether as a Producer, Arts Manager or Photographer. My work was based around developing young creative talent, now, following the worldwide lockdown, I have had a chance to explore again my own creative expression in the form of collage and painting. As a Birmingham based contemporary artist I use local themes as well as artwork which challenges female stereotypes. I enjoy meeting people at Birmingham Open Studio (Sept/Oct 2023) and have valued reaching people and sharing my work through, Instagram, Facebook and exhibiting at Ikon Contemporary Art Gallery .
