I have a passion for making art from vintage materials. I source my materials from flea markets and antique fairs, such as ornate gold frames and discontinued wallpaper sample books, breathing new life into the old. I have created a collection of original paintings and screen prints in this style and the collection is constantly evolving as I find new treasures.
TheseĀ paintings are primarily of animals that are seen as ālower formsā (foxes, chickens, small birds, hares) and by placing them inside vintage ornate frames IĀ am elevating their status into something to be cherished.
The frames are invariably grand and gold and the pieces become revered as treasure.Ā
