| Description: | Artist, Illustrator, Mad Hatter, Self-Publisher, Inventor, and Nightowl based in Cheshire, England. At age four she attempted to learn how to fly using story books as wings, but in later years decided it’d be better to turn these abstract ideas into illustrations and artworks on canvas. Obsessed with details, ephemera, memories, and found objects, she grew up on a visual diet of comics and trips to the local antique shop. Textures and layering are an important consideration when creating her curious and sometimes bizarre characters and landscapes. The relationship between man and machine is another obvious fascination as she often juxtaposes organic and mechanical images to form surreal and whimsical narratives. Handmade, birds, insects and organisms are also a common theme throughout her work as she draws much of her inspiration from nature and it’s rustic colour palette. |

Robot Monsters
I've just completed a big handmade project which I started working on last May and I've called the finished pieces 'Robot Monsters'. The Robot Monsters themselves are a handmade badge (the head of the monster) with black and which cardboard body parts which are attached by velcro so you can move them
