Aurorabearealis

Aurorabearealis 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 co

llage 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 little quiet moment in the studio...

It's nice to work in silence sometimes, especially doing something repetitive like this.
30 minutes of Zen.🧘‍♀️
