Artist Statement
Working with views over the river and hills, I am frequently inspired by this landscape which is reflected in my mosaics. Flowers in abundance feature in the majority of my exhibition pieces, as well as in private commissions. While many of my pieces are considered ‘decorative art’, I also enjoy making mosaics with a more practical purpose such as mirrors, table tops and garden items.
In producing my mosaics, I aim to be true to myself and my interest in recycling and sustainability by incorporating many recycled materials, including those representing me and my local area in Perthshire or pieces donated for use by friends and family, similar to a traditional patchwork concept. I also use wine bottle glass and broken car windows amongst other salvaged materials.
Recycled materials stimulate many of my ideas in mosaic pieces that I have done, yet working with mosaics is still an evolving process for me, as I explore working with new materials and themes. I never stay static for long!
