On my daily jaunts through shopping centres, the Observer in me has noted how everyone is going pattern crazy this year! As a collage artist obsessed with perfecting my use of colour, texture and patterns, I find this fashion trend so exciting! Recently, I spotted an eye-catching mix of floral and camouflage prints on […]
This past week, I’ve nursing a terrible cold which just seems to be clinging on to me for dear life. Despite my lack of sleep, I saved up enough energy to create a brand new collage to share with you (inspired by a Kurt Vonnegut quote) along with a short, sweet seasonal reflection.
