I have picked out ten pieces that I feel give an overall view of the work, including several from my present sketchbook.
This piece dates to around 2005/6 and is waxed paper with found objects attached. I still have this and it's companion piece as I liked them so much.
This piece is from 2007 and was one of my assessment pieces for my BTEC Fine Art Diploma. I made several, some much smaller, and most have been sold.
This was painted in 2013. It is one of a pair, and I love them both, and have them on my wall.
This is one of several I made in 2014, to sell at various exhibitions I was in that year.
I love making books. This is one I made in 2014 from two full sheets of watercolour paper that were painted prior to cutting down for the book.
I made this book about a week ago, trying out different binding methods. I plan to bind some of my waxed photographs into a book, together with other decorated and waxed papers.
This is one of my digitally altered photographs. I like to print them out onto printmakers or watercolour paper, then dip them into natural beeswax. It gives a lovely soft golden glow to them, as well as making them semi-transluscent.
These last photographs are all from my sketchbook, made over the last month or so. The first is a collage of photographs, painted papers and inks.
I have then photographed and altered parts of the first collage, and developed it further.
This last is a stitched sample, inspired from the collage above. I am trying to capture the meditative feeling I have when walking along the beach in the early morning. The repeating rhythm of the waves is very calming.
