Artwork Description:

Title: Autumn Moon

This pastel, ink, acrylics and graphite drawing was named for a Japanese acer tree.

After being pot-bound on my parents patio for many years, this sentimental little tree was recently relocated to my garden in Belper, where I enjoyed the stunning transformation from green to pinks, russets and a final vivid show of garnet & vermilion before he rested for winter.

Artist Bio:

this work is a natural progression from textile design back into drawing & painting.

within the beautiful location of amber valley, i'm enjoying working on a new garden that i'm gradually filling with floral inspiration; novice gardener with firm plant favourites in terms of structure, texture & colour combination.

exploring & experimenting with fresh creative processes, as well as the familiar layering and tactile qualities of embroidered work, have led to these colourful, expressive, textural pieces based in nature.
