Delicate layers of hand painted tissue paper are collaged onto 300gsm (140lb) watercolour paper.

Inspiration for this artwork was derived from Boro, a Japanese textile. Boro are reworked or repaired textiles (often clothes or bedding) that have been pieced, patched and stitched together in order to extend their use. The Japanese term "Boroboro", means something tattered or repaired.

Measuring A4 in size or 210mm x 297mm ( 8-1/4 x 11-3/4), this collage is ready for matting and framing.

Multiple distressed layers of paint both reveal and hide an ancient Gothic window.

Inspiration has come from the medieval past. Windows are so interesting. You can look out of a them but you can also look in as well. With this magical window I wanted to capture and convey something of its mystery and great age.

Measuring 25cm x 30.5cm (10" x 12"), this mixed media art work, with finished painted sides in burnt umber, can be displayed as is on a table, or shelf. It is also ready to hang.

On this gallery canvas, multiple distressed layers of acrylic paint evoke a sense of mystery around this exquisite incense burner.

I was inspired by the story of a church in the UK that had been badly flooded. Humidifiers were placed inside to dry it out. As a result, the fragrant smoke of ancient incense, that had been used in medieval times and locked into the fabric of the building, was released. The smell of a centuries old fragrance could once again be experienced.

In this mixed media collage the incense burner is exposed again; emerging from the past just like the incense it burnt.
