Style of work: Light, landscape
Short Bio: Mixed media artist and designer based in Skipton, North Yorkshire.
Image inspired by the rolling Dales hills and the stark outlines of trees in winter silhouetted against the low sun signalling the end of the year. The foils used in the base layers of my work are rescued from the print industry and create a beautiful ever changing light quality to the images I create. The papers are built up in layers to produce unique textures and tones, these are then used to add detail to the landscapes. Sgraffito (scratching) allows fine details to be added and reveals the colours of the layers below. Light and landscape are the essence of my work.
