Welcome
I believe there is magic in the world...just beyond the reach of our fingertips...just beyond the range of our vision....... every now and then we catch a glimpse of something we feel but cannot explain. I admire artists who can capture this magic and draw a response that is magical, spiritual,religious,mystical,transcendental ? The definition is decided by the viewer.
The original inspiration for my work is the art of the Byzantine era, especially religious icons which are thought to provide a gateway or window into the spiritual world.
I am seeking to create pieces which emulate fragments of sacred artefacts. I use jewel-like machine embroidered and hand beaded fragments of silk and voile to embellish texts on charred watercolour paper.Glowing closely related colours and an aged distressed quality characterise the work.
