Christine Richards
Christine works in a variety of media: acrylic painting, mixed media, painting with wool,
and up cycling of torso and heads. Her most recent work is laid out here.
I am an ex art teacher in the fortunate position of exploring creative ideas.
I have always loved colour, initially painting with acrylics and then experimenting with different media. Currently I particularly enjoy painting with merino wool. This venture started in earnest during lockdown, I appreciated the use of needles as an outlet for frustration at the ongoing situation we all find ourselves in.
I also found myself with a number of polystyrene heads and torsos. Mannequins and now womanquins continue to fascinate me. I up - cycle these torsos and polystyrene heads using books, magazines and comics.
