Mixed Media Menagerie

Many of the pieces you will see here were created after a particularly rough period during which I didn’t make any art. Not wanting to “ruin” one of my nice sketchbooks, I decided to make one using an old amazon envelope and whatever cheap paper I could find around my studio.

I gathered together some materials and started to play, not worrying about creating something perfect. I rejected realism and instead embraced bold colours and expressive mark making. After cleaning everything up digitally and making a few minor tweaks, I realised that I made some art that I truly love.

These pieces used a variety of mediums so I’ve added a little bit of info to each piece noting the materials I used for those who are interested.
