I've long been fascinated by old world maps and the beautiful detail that can be found there. For this piece I've used texture paste to build up "coast lines" then filled the land with collage and stencilling. In the air and water I've added "map monsters" and butterflies to create this ode to the spirit of discovery. The interesting long, narrow aspect (38cm x 76cm) of this canvas makes it a lovely accent piece for smaller spaces or addition to a nautical themed room.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
For as long as I can remember I've been a creative soul and started making my mark as soon as I was old enough to hold a pencil. I've explored a truck load of art and craft forms and mediums and although not formally trained I've explored, experimented and learnt from many teachers over the years with nature, ancient symbolism and traditional world cultures being my strongest inspiration. I continue to make art in some way most days even if it's only making some marks and letting off steam in my journal and rather than being something I do creativity is a large part of who I am. Like me, my art continues to grow and evolve and my current favourites are mixed media on canvas and book making. In the past I have enjoyed a subdued almost antique looking colour palette but recently my palette has changed to include strong colours and my works now involves many layers of acrylic paint and mediums, paper collage, stamping and stencillling.
