Disco Balls

Recycled shoal of fish

Elvis the Dachshund
Biography
I love to paint bright, colourful animals with character, my aim is for my work to make you smile. Colour features very much in my work. I also have a series of sparkly disco balls, painted on flat surface but give the illusion of a 3D sphere, I'm a disco girl at heart, who doesn't love a glittery and sparkly mirror ball!
Lastly, I've got a recycling project on at the moment using the aluminium from coffee pods, I make shimmering moving artwork with these that jingle softly in the breeze.
inspiration
Animals are a favourite of mine to paint, I love to use the farm animals that surround our village as well as the abundance of wildlife on the doorstep for inspiration.
I'm a girl from the 70's/80's who just loves a disco ball, that's my inspiration for painting those.
For my recycling work, I have always wanted to look into a project where I can use a disposable material to create artwork, this definitely is a work in progress and developing with each piece that I make.
medium
Mainly acrylic paints for all of my artwork on either canvas or board.
My recycling project uses coffee pods and drinks cans
