A professional textile and surface pattern designer who works with a variety of media & materials to produce quirky mosaic frames, watercolour florals, collages, photography & greetings cards, as well as various fun objects of desire! My mosaic frames incorporate found objects, vintage collectables & colourful tiles to create visual diaries that capture a moment in time.</p>
<p>I am inspired by the 'Pop Art' masterpieces of Peter Blake & love the collage style of his work. I enjoy working on commissions for life events such as weddings, birthdays & celebrations etc to create personal, visual pieces that aim to caputure the nature of the personality or event. I have also been involved in creating memory mosaics, in honour of loved ones or pets etc. to keep their memory alive in an unusual but beautiful way.</p>
<p>My work is born out of a desire to display many of the tiny treasures I kept in drawers and cupboards. I like to incorporate photographs, maps, & text from diaries or poems that reflect individual personalities, where appropriate. Some of my work responds to a particular theme, title or moment in time. During the past two years I have produced my 'Covid19 Collection' - that aims to reflect all aspects of the pandemic, including 'Lockdown' & 'Grayson Perry's Art Club' </p>
