Blackbirds 1

This artwork presents three black birds perched on a thin branch, set against a textured square backdrop of warm yellows and oranges with hints of faded red patterns. The background features vertical gold lines over a bold red canvas, adding depth and subtle rhythm to the composition. The contrast between the stark silhouettes and the vibrant, layered background expresses quiet stillness amid energy. This is a piece that can bring both warmth and subtle movement to any room.

Mixed media piece on stretched canvas.

Please note: the styled scene Not to scale (please refer to measurements. )

This piece does not require framing, but can be framed if preferred.

Thank you for visiting my page.

I am self-taught. Largely, working on canvas and paper, I apply various materials and techniques for added interest and texture, usually incorporating collage into my pieces.

I am interested in a range of styles and subjects, but am principally inspired by color and form. I am fascinated by illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages and often use gold/silver leaf to add a sense of luminosity to my images.

I create textured paintings that explore nature’s quiet beauty and human moments through vibrant colors and layered forms. My work blends warmth with calm, inviting reflection and bringing subtle energy to any space.

Ultimately, my works are invitations to pause. They reflect acceptance of everyday beauty, asking the viewer to look a little longer and find stillness, wonder, and a touch of magic in ordinary things.

I am drawn to small art format because it gives me the freedom to explore various techniques and materials in an immediate and accessible manner.
