It’s been a while since I first decided to start writing about creating an at home artist residency, including the lead up and aftermath of my first exhibition.

I documented the process in my journal and made an infographic which might be useful to anyone out there wishing to do their own at home artist residency. Feel free to connect with me should you have any questions.

Pushing collages from small to large format, using a three month “at home artist residency”. This project ran from August to October 2022 culminating in an exhibition in November 2022. It became bigger than Ben Hur and I definately bit off more thank I could chew. It was so worthwhile though.

Through all the planning and making and failures I even had some successes. I learned so much and will be using this way of working to provide structure around future projects.

Selection paintings, mixed media and other stuff made pre-2020. Not a project - just the lead up to what I do now…

I went from spinning, crocheting and dabbling in fibre arts to painting and mixed media. Practicing and collecting art supplies led to a frustration with the expense of materials and an increasing dissonance with growing environmental concerns, until I decided to focus on collage. Collage is an art-making process that suits me perfectly. I'm embracing the creative constraints of working exclusively with found papers and being intentional about how I consume materials.
