The Creative Explorations of Sharon Tippett

I am constantly inspired by the colours, patterns and textures of nature. It could be a piece of wool caught on some wire or the colours and shapes of bracken in autumn that provide the foundations for a piece of work. I love the way that the ever changing light can create a different mood within seconds.

My work normally goes in one of two directions, mixed media or abstracted landscapes. That being said, I am currently studying for a Foundation Degree in Fine Art and this is making me question and develop my thought processes and techniques.

For mixed media I use a variety of techniques from weaving, stitching and fusing to painting and dyeing to produce a body of work that is rich in colour and texture. My landscape works are very much based on colours and shapes, rather than accuracy.

I am constantly seeking out new techniques and ideas, never afraid to push the boundaries of what should or shouldn't be!
