Ammonite Art - Labyrinth Art
|
Bright, vibrant, fun - my collage paintings are quirky and colourful. Each one is individually created for a different effect. If you are searching for beautiful, original artwork at an affordable price, you’re in the right place!
I work intuitively to produce paintings and drawings in a wide range of colours and textures. They can be anything: landscapes, still life, abstracts….then I tear them up and reconstruct them into collages.
My favourite subjects are Ammonites and Labyrinths, but I've also created collage paintings of plants, animals, insects and landscapes. If you have an idea for an alternative subject, or would like to see something in different colours, just let me know.
Unlike many collage artists, I don’t generally use printed snippets from newspapers and magazines – the painted fragments are all my own. Once the design is in place, I set to work embellishing it with metallic inks, glitter and gems, and the whole piece is finally sealed with transparent water-based glue to keep everything in place.
All works featured on these pages are for sale. Please click on any image to go through to the gallery.

My husband Mark is an artist too.
We work in a studio tucked away in a delightful walled garden in the heart of the ancient abbey town of Sherborne. The studio is open by appointment, and for events such as art weeks and charity open garden days. |
