‘Peony 3939’

‘Dahlia 6011’

‘Tulip 5178’

Giclee Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Paper

£45/£25 framed

I’m interested in the point when a cut flower starts to ‘go over’ and exploring the relationship between beauty and decay. I photograph them against a black background and then print on a paper that blurs the ground between a print and painting. The black frames, no borders and no glass are conscious decisions to invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the beauty of colour and texture.

‘Free Fall Leaves’

Monoprint

The pieces I created were an experiment of how far I could go using the media. What I like about making art with Sandpit arts is that it encourages freedom of expression through art and not being afraid of making mistakes, as well as learning from others.

‘Seeds of Creativity’

Monoprint

‘Nature's Harmony’

£20, commissions on request, can also be printed & mounted on board

Digital Print

I don’t claim great technical ability, but what I lack in skill I try to make up for with enthusiasm. I prefer working with abstract forms, particularly those inspired by nature, and in vibrant colours. I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in Sandpit Arts workshops, where I have continued to follow the thread of abstract forms.

‘The Fens’

£20  

Cyanotype 

I usually create electronic and installation artwork so creating this cyanotype print with Sandpit Arts was an exciting opportunity to apply technical considerations to working with natural forms and sunlight, and I’m really pleased with the result.

‘Tree of Life’

Linoprint

I think the best part about Sandpit Arts has been finding a dedicated space to experiment with acrylics, lino printing and mark making collectively. The nature theme was very fitting to my personal interests. 

I've lived locally for 3 years and have always yearned for community building activities in the area to connect with others. The connection with St Margaret's, a community hub offering other wellbeing workshops to residents, has added to the feeling of being rooted to the area.

‘Explosion of Mother Nature’

NFS

Acrylic on Recycled Canvas

I’ve been an art lover since very young age. After five years of Modern School of Art, my professional career switched towards different fields. My work is the combination of screen and digital printing and the interaction with more traditional painting techniques where I am driven by emotions that I express with a dynamic palette knife stroke.

I like making visual and performance art that emerges from embodied experience and supports my recovery from ill health.

I used the garden colour palette, sculptures and concept to visualise a healing flow from darkness to peacefulness, and included mark making with ink and plants, gold leaf and finger painting to represent my own journey through trauma.

Ceramic Vessels

In July 2022, spent the year living in four different countries, experiencing their culture and realising how integral to life fired clay has been to humanity. In response to the new garden at St Margaret’s, I have connected this new beginning to my own. Each piece here celebrates a country I visited and a Talitha Garden plant, links its characteristics to my location and anchors an aspect of culture that resonated.
