In the eight years that I have been creating collages from thousands of tiny pieces of discarded National Lottery scratch cards and other recycled materials, it is good to know that I have given people pleasure when they see my art exhibitions. They are amazed that I can produce art from what most consider to be just rubbish and how I am making a positive statement about recycling. I developed my own unique style of “environmental art”, which I have been exhibiting since the age of fifteen in the north as well as Milton Keynes, Swansea, East Sussex and Edinburgh.

The subjects I have chosen for my artwork are linked to places where I have lived (East Sussex and North Yorkshire) or that have family connections both past and present.

Using hole-punched circular pieces, cut or torn strips pasted layer upon layer, my collages create a 3D effect and have been described as “innovative and ground breaking”. I have an artist’s showreel:

This year I have been working on a number of private and corporate commissions, including an exciting project for Great British Racing in London. I produced a piece of art from previous raceday materials to celebrate the Coronation.
