Welcome to my blog a one-stop art hub for exploring the exciting world of colour, paper-based collage, abstraction and digital surface patterns.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of my paper-based collages. I explore themes of people and movement through colorful abstractions. Join me on this artistic journey, whether you're a seasoned collector or a curious beginner.
Dive into a World of Colour
Colour is a fundamental element of art and design, with the power to evoke emotions, tell stories, and create visual interest. Across a series of blog posts I will delve into the how and why I am inspired by colour. Illustrate how some artists express their creativity through the use of colour. Learn how to use colour theory to create specific moods in your artwork, explore the symbolism behind different colours, and discover how collage artists throughout history have harnessed the power of colour to create masterpieces.
The Magic of Paper-Based Collage
Paper-based collage is an incredibly versatile and accessible art form. Compositions can be visually controlled and captivating or a juxtaposition of random elements that connect to tell a story . I am currently using papers as my medium to create and craft unique mixed-media collage artworks. I have worked on different techniques cutting, tearing, shredding, explored unique materials like found papers, magazines, recycled paper and fabric scraps to craft these artworks.
I have been told that my portfolio of work is viewed as abstract art.. Do you agree?
Demystifying Abstraction
I have always been drawn to Abstract Art and so it is no surprise that my creative expression pulls into the abstract. I like to allow the viewer to explore the artwork, discover their imagination and tease out a story for themselves. My current portfolio of work can be viewed as linear collage and here I have simplified human form created dynamic movement through paper placement and and colour interaction.
Some blogging articles will illustrate how I achieve this result.
Unleash Your Inner Pattern Master
Patterns are everywhere in nature and art, providing a sense of order and rhythm. Using the primary research medium of photography, I have a gallery of images that are sources of inspiration and I use to create my visual world of patterns. Everyday objects and the surrounding environment can reveal a wide range of patterns - geometric, organic and tessellations. Keeping image references and sketching out ideas for patterns all feeds into my creative bank. From these sources I am able to create digital surface patterns and even compositions for my collages.
Colour, Abstraction, Patterns and Paper converge to form all the ideas, creative artwork and surface designs you'll find on my website and the blog.
I am passionate about empowering all who love art and colour to explore their appreciation and discover new unique artists.
