STATEMENT

For me, collage is all about the journey and the joy of the creative act. I work intuitively to create random and abstract compositions using found materials and acrylic paints. In many ways, I am guided by the materials and mediums that I use – each piece emerges through the process and only takes on whatever meaning it has when it is finished. I like to create works that can withstand multiple viewings, revealing elements and details on a number of levels.

BIO

Collage is one of my passions. I’m also a street photographer (www.lesjonesstreetphotography.com) and a creative director working with businesses on developing the brand and communications.
