Bev Speight STATEMENT I am passionate about art, and in particular, I love collage. This art of reinvention is a magical and tactile process that allows me to collect, experiment, combine and transform imagery. Working with old family photographs, vintage magazines and my own holiday snaps, I enjoy exploring and experimenting with different styles to produce a variety of artworks: from architectural builds to mixed media menageries and washi tape mash-ups to juxtaposed joiners. BIO Bev Speight is a graphic designer, illustrator and art educator who teaches at Middlesex University, London, UK. She was previously creative director for a major London book publisher and, amongst many other clients, has worked on high-profile campaigns for the BBC, Lonely Planet and Berlitz. Now an independent creative, she balances her time between her creative graphic design and illustration practice, university lecturing and writing books. At Middlesex university, Bev leads the Visual Arts and 3D Design BA Foundation programmes. Bev illustrated the Victorian Steampunk Tarot for Cico publishers, London.
