Art by Caroline Blake
"I would describe my mixed media work as “vivid nature”, as it’s all about colour which I make vibrant with pearlescent and fluorescent acrylics and I love to embellish with jewels, beads or sparkle. The paints are applied onto board lined with tissue paper which I crease in an individual way for every piece, giving a textured 3D effect. My latest obsession is to apply tiny beads to the crevices of the tissue to create an interesting terrain. I am a stickler for placing my gems and beads in the right places and will sometimes be seen hoovering my paintings if I am not happy with a stray bead.
The titles of my current paintings are rather tongue-in-cheek; I enjoy playing with the word "tree”, which is worked into the title. I am a self-taught painter inspired by my maternal grandfather who was a member of the Royal academy. I am able to offer commissions and if you love particular colours I can create something personal for a special room."
Five adjectives that sum up my ethos and work are:
Vibrant
Funky
Contemporary
Striking
Bling
