Aurorabearealis

Aurorabearealis the Studio Gallery of Susan Phillips, Artist and Creator of beautiful things.

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.
I find it hard not to see images in such surfaces. 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.
