ART

I love to celebrate nature, wildlife and life through both writing and art. I paint with soft pastels and also with wool (felted). I find the two mediums oddly similar in terms of the vibrant colours and the softness.

Since I’m also a writer, I usually find the urge to write poetry or short prose for each artwork is too strong to deny, so almost all my pieces have words to accompany them. Whoever buys the artwork is also gifted with the poem. (If you’ve bought my work at a gallery which didn’t display or offer the accompanying writing, do get in touch and I’d be happy to send you the words – if the piece had them!).

WOOL FELT: I mostly use (non-mulesed) merino wool and the wet-felting method, though I often embellish my wet-felted pieces with needle felting, hand embroidery or free-motion sewing.

PASTELS: I generally use a combination of Unison soft pastels, Pan Pastels, Rembrandt pastels and pastel pencils (Stabilo Cabothello most often). My go-to paper is Clairefrontaine’s Pastelmat, though I occasionally use other papers such as Canson’s Mi-Teintes Velvet, even some recycled paper I make by hand.

If you’re interested in buying any of the pieces below, have any questions about them, or would like to ask about a commission, I’d love to hear from you by email at: a.g.marks18 at gmail.com

[NOTE: Colours might not be exactly as shown on screen. Sizes are rough on the felts as they are uneven – though they can be framed not to show the uneven edge if you prefer. Prices don’t include P&P]
