Two artists representing the natural world in very different media. Jackie Richards specialises in British birds and wildlife, her collages are made from recycled colour magazines and hand dyed tissue paper. Incorporated within many of the collages you can find unexpected “hidden” images of people, buildings, butterflies, animals and other objects. Original artwork, giclee prints, and greetings cards. Pet commissions on request.
Josephine Malden works in silver to create pieces of jewellery inspired by the shapes, forms and textures found in nature, such as leaves, seeds, moths, fossils and sometimes birds and other animals. She combines the silver with other metals including gold, brass and copper as well as semiprecious beads, pebbles and felt and prefers the more hands on traditional silversmithing techniques to transform flat silver sheet into more organic shapes.
