Print-maker on the loose

I am a visual artist, print-maker and photographer; my Cyanotype work is a path to exploring the relationship between light and pattern. Most patterns I use are from the natural world and they are layered with fabric patterns to create a juxtaposition of colors. This process of connecting with nature in a visual way, and bringing it into living spaces is what inspires my home decor work, allowing me to make statement pieces that form a spatial experience.

Each piece is one-of-a-kind and the exposure is created only once. I treat my fabric, expose it, build the shade and curate the entire piece all within my studio. The lamp bases are either handmade by another artist or picked up at antique/vintage markets.

The use of patterns are also seen in my print work. Brush strokes, leaf formations, texture, paper type, exposure times- all of these are used to enhance the visual effects and create a piece that engages with the viewer. I strive to add emotion, whimsy, beauty and magic in my Cyanotype prints. The prints are limited edition and unique.

As a visual person, I use my artistic skills to explore leaf and plant patterns. Recently I have ventured into the geometric design world as well. The block printing method known as Linocut is the perfect outlet for me to explore a variety of patterns.

My style is generally free-flowing and the process of cutting into the soft linoleum material is therapeutic and satisfying. As I keep exploring with Linocuts, it results in pretty, every day functional items that I hope people will be proud to carry around. Why not add beauty into the world while running errands and doing chores!

Unlike my Cyanotype work, the Linocut designs can be repeated and used on multiple surfaces. However, my designs are constantly changing, so to keep it interesting for me and my customers, I make limited-edition items. These will change over time as I make new designs. So do come back again, and see if there is something that appeals to you or someone you love :-)
