With these silk collages I am striving to convey the drama of Britain's wonderful landscapes and monuments. I like to discover places whilst walking, and record images with photography from which I later develop collage designs. I use hand-painted silk as it enables me to lift a simple design with vibrant colour and a crisp line.
