About me

A mixed media artist working primarily with recycled materials.
The choice of working with carrier bags, was quite a long process, that happened by circumstances.

'Part of my daily routine is a walk around the strip of land at the bottom of my road, that was formally known as 'Prenton Quarry'. With the backing of Groundwork Wirral the land was transformed into a conservation area, and has become a haven for wildlife.

During my walks, I got into the habit of taking photographs of the area, and using the images for reference for my paintings that have an environmental theme.'

In a nutshell, the area started to become used by a variety of people..and hand in hand with people..came the litter.

'I needed to find a use for the carrier bags that had been left'.

Information about the transition from painting to mixed media can be found in my blog:
