Artform: Jewellery, Mixed Media, Photography, Printmaking

Starting out as a photographer before pursuing a less restrictive interpretation of the medium, I now work with imagery in all its forms, printed on a variety of substrates from large acrylics to tiny tea bags. I’ll be showing a wide variety of work in May from moody landscapes of Oxford and the Thames to abstract colourful work, botanical macro work and mixed-media print work with photographic images at its heart.

I’d love to show you the variety of work I am producing at the moment, some of which has immediate local appeal, and some which blurs the line between reality and abstraction. Other images serve as the foundation for a diverse range of mixed media and printmaking, while experimentation with traditional and contemporary processes has led to a new collection of jewellery merging visual art with wearable design.

I’m happy to explain my processes, show you the sometimes surprising and beautiful ways photography can evolve into other art forms, or help you create your own cyanotypes, zines or prints.
