Original artwork description:

Every picture I create begins life as a pile of magazines which would otherwise be destined for the recycle bin. (I swap eggs from my chickens for magazines from neighbours!) I find inspiration in the colours on the pages I find and that is often the starting piece for a picture. Just using a pair of scissors I cut or rip intricate shapes and pieces form the recycled papers and then layer them to create a canvas painted with papers.

I love colour and try to use a range of bright and fun colours in all my work, which sells all over the world and is seen as something a big different. I had fun creating this picture - trying to put an every day scene (Market Street in Cambridge), in a setting you wouldn't expect- on a punt on the river. That's Kings College in the background!

This picture comes beautifully mounted with a high quality picture mount and in a picture cello bag and is frame ready (Fits standard off the shelf frames).

Materials used:

recycled papers. High quality picture board mount
