Stacey-Ann Cole

Hi, my name is Stacey-Ann and I am artist based in Peterborough, UK.

My main body of work is driven by my desire to offer African Caribbean inspired art widely seen and available to the everyday consumer.

In addition to the quite personal work described above, I enjoy exploring alternative themes and experimenting with a wide variety of media. I love creating abstract art because of the freedom to concentrate on shape, line, colour and pattern, without necessarily feeling the need to reproduce a likeness of an object, landscape or person.

I use watercolour paint as my main medium plus acrylic paint, gouache and ink, as it helps me to come up with fresh ideas and new work. My use of sketchbooks to play around in is also an important part of my process.

Digital illustration and Graphic Design are other creative disciplines that I occasionally enjoy exploring. I currently use Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer to produce this work, often with a mix of traditional and digital technques.
