Artist's StatementMy work focuses on painting, collage and printmaking, creating patterns and atmosphere, in real and imagined landscapes. I love to experiment with different mediums and make hand collaged papers to layer on to my images. Design, beautiful objects, as well as landscapes and creatures, are all influences that feed into my work. While studying for an MA in Children's Book Illustration I was able to develop my interest in the narrative. Through storytelling I am inspired to create other worlds, that might tell their own story or could be the backdrop to classic tales.
