‘I have a great love of folk culture and popular art. I love shop fronts, fairgrounds, hand-painted signage, advertising imagery and typography, tattoos, workers’ guild banners, mottos, catch-phrases, religious iconography and paper ephemera.
I use printmaking techniques to produce densely-textured papers for my collage work and I am very fond of paper cutting, so my collage has developed from experiments with this technique.
I like collage because it offers me freedom to move all the elements around until I feel that the design looks right. I find creating the collages very contemplative, rather like making a large jigsaw puzzle and I can get lost for hours just moving bits around.’

Wonderful graphic design! Reminds me a bit of the late 50’s to early 70’s style, which is what makes it so appealing. — I would sooo love to pop by Kings Cross and say hello…!
Love & Peace

Oh what a lovely treat to find Marion on your page this morning …her work is magical. We had the enormous treat of spending a day with her in Ledbury this spring 🥰
I love this work! — It has so many cross-currents…………a sense of retro/vintage, but with smart,
hip, savvy compositions and use of typography, etc. And anything that includes “cut paper” is
great with me. I’m adding this artist to a list of favorite
“Brits” — Mark Hearld, Jonny Hannah and Ed Kluz (oh, and Clive Hicks Jenkins). These artists seem to carry a uniquely-UK banner, and do it with such distinction and style.
Thank you, GA, for this blast of imagination and color today.
