Mixed media creating contemporary, colourful and atmospheric artwork

Using a collage and paint technique Cicelie creates stunning and unique pieces of artwork. She works initially by selecting the torn papers and placing them on blank watercolour paper to create textures and movement. This forms the underpainting, which she then paints over with either two tones of watercolour or liquid acrylic. She then ‘finds’ the image to bring out from this background by drawing with card and dip pen for the more realistic scenes, or just more paint for the landscape images. It has proved a very exciting and popular technique and gives the artist great creativity as these are very much one-off pieces of work.

Cicelie has always enjoyed sketching and has a large collection of sketch books gathered over the years, and as a mature student achieved an A grade in Fine Art. She has exhibited in the past at the Mall Galleries London and in many local Exhibitions and Galleries. She lives locally in Hampshire and enjoys travelling to collect more sketches for future work.
