About Me
Artist, cat person, late night crafter. I love anything colourful, quirky and collaged. I have a keen interest in pattern design and I studied art & design at college, then BA Hons. Illustration at university. I’ve been drawing since as long as I can remember…
I’m a bit astrology obsessed, and love the natural world, space, science and natural phenomenon. I love alternative music and play drums in my spare time. I live with anxiety and depression, so art, colour and creativity help me to escape.

Description
One of 4 collage compositions I have pulled together from my collection of vintage ephemera, collected postal stamps, stickers and paper elements. I have always been a collector of anything paper based and anything ‘scrap’ and keep all my collected ephemera in drawers to use in my collages.
I love not knowing how and when they will be used at the time I collect them, but when I begin to pull together a composition / collage I can choose the pieces by theme, colour, texture, pattern and they become a part of something more with their own little narrative.
A lot of the vintage postage stamps I collect are purchased at vintage / flea markets, antiques stores and online stores like Etsy. I collect ephemera everywhere and anywhere I can, and am always on the lookout to add to my collection.
I created these compositions on pieces of white A6 card, glueing down the elements as I built up the layout. Each composition took a lot of thought regarding colours and composition. I then scanned the graphics and used Procreate (iPad) to erase the white background, and brighten up the image.
