Artwork Description:

Title: Have a Flutter

This mixed media painting was painted on top of a collage background.

It features flowers in whites, pinks, lilacs and blues with a pastel blue sky.

There are many shapes and marks drawn on top of the painting to bring the scene together using pens and pencil.

I stamp was used to add the butterflies in the sky.

It was painted on to brown paper which is visible on the ‘unfinished’ edges and adds a vintage look to the whole piece.

Artist Bio:

My art is all about colour.

Colour is such a powerful tool to draw the viewer in. It sets a mood, invites imagination and brings joy. I draw my inspiration from the countryside around me but I work almost entirely intuitively. To do this, I start by covering my surface with collage. This can be papers, book pages, music sheets, fabric.....the list is endless. I arrange these on the canvas, stick them down and then paint on the top using acrylic paint.

I paint flowers in various forms. Some are easily recognisable flower forms and others are more abstract. I combine these with pattern and marks, filling every inch with something to see!

I never know how a painting will turn out but that I believe is what makes my art so unique! The fresh energy in each piece makes them truly special!
