Aurorabearealis the Studio Gallery of Susan Phillips, Artist and Creator of beautiful things. I find it hard not to see images in such surfaces.

Texture plays a large part in the inspiration behind my work, I love old peeling paint, decaying wood and rusty metal as well as patterns in nature like tidemarks on a sandy beach or the flotsam and jetsam left behind by the tide. Living and working in the Highlands of Scotland means nature and the sea has a huge influence on my Art. Much of my work is mixed media and I particularly enjoy using collage to add texture to pieces. I often experiment with media not immediately associated with fine Art like embossing enamels, beading, textiles and fibres, for me the lines between Art and Craft can be very blurred.

A New Chapter.📖
On the 30th of OCTOBER we will be CLOSING our Shop in North Kessock... the CLEARANCE SALE starts now!

After 18 years of sharing our work with all our lovely visitors at North Kessock (and the 30 years before that as the Post Office) I'm looking forward to concentrating full time on my Textile & Art work instead, selling online and at selected events and outlets.🛍️
