With a background in textiles, I am an artist delving into the world of ‘mixed media’, which in truth means playing with anything and everything that takes my fancy; acrylics thick, acrylics thin, inks, watercolours, oil sticks, water soluble crayons, wax, pencils, pens, charcoal, pastels and a raft of tools to push, pull, scrape, paint and mark with. From every size and shape of brush, including toothbrushes, decorators’ and scourers, to all manner of squeegees, pipettes, sponges, rollers, fingers! Swishing, dripping, scrunching, rubbing, resisting, dabbing, scratching, mixing, swirling. It’s the alchemy of how these thing react and interact with each other that really intrigues me. The ‘ooh’ and ‘ah’ moments when magic happens.
