Red Clouds Tonight is a handmade greeting card inspired by the simple magic of looking out to sea and imagining stories in the sky. An adult and a small child stand together on a promenade, watching a striking red cloud hanging above the horizon. The title suggests a gentle conversation between generations, a moment of wonder shared at the water's edge.
Created from collage and mixed-media elements, this card combines bold colour, texture, and atmosphere to create a scene that feels both familiar and dreamlike. Perfect for anyone who enjoys art, imagination, and thoughtful handmade cards.

**Red Lips**

*Red Lips* focuses on a small section of a woman's face, turning an everyday magazine image into something striking and abstract. The bright red lipstick contrasts beautifully with the soft skin tones and silver earring, while the cropped composition leaves space for imagination.

I love how collage can transform familiar images into something unexpected. By isolating details and removing context, the picture becomes more about mood, colour, and presence than identity.

This handmade collage greeting card has a clean, modern aesthetic and serves as both a small piece of art and a card for someone special.

Two People in a Boat.
Two People in a Boat is a handmade greeting card inspired by movement, companionship, and adventure. The artwork depicts two figures travelling at speed in a small green boat, both intently looking ahead as birds sweep across the sky above them.
Created using expressive ink lines, watercolour washes, and layered painterly marks, the card captures a feeling of energy and forward motion. I wanted the image to feel loose and spontaneous, almost like a memory or fleeting moment caught in motion.
The combination of sketch-like drawing and abstract colour creates a contemporary artistic feel while still leaving space for storytelling and imagination. This card works beautifully as a birthday card, friendship card, encouragement card, or simply as a small piece of collectable art.
Perfect for people who appreciate independent art, handmade design, and expressive illustration.

The Ice Flow

The sunflower paintings by Vincent van Gogh are among the most iconic images of the twentieth century. I've often seen them when I visit London. My Sunflower on a Blue Background picture is not a copy; replicating an artist's painting is the best way to understand the subject matter as the original artist might have seen it. I'm sharing my offering: an A4 gouache on paper, signed and dated 2024.
