Artist’s description

Collage Artist Extraordinaire

The abandoned, unloved and unwanted are transformed into unique opulent artworks rich in narrative and intrigue .

Caris is a mixed media collage artist whose work reimagines iconic performers and theatrical subjects in a playful, maximalist and joyful homage. Using vintage prints, recycled fabrics, and repurposed items, Caris creates layered, textured pieces filled with history and drama.

Her artistic journey began at just 4 years old after visiting an art college degree show in her birth town of Wolverhampton. From there, she pursued a Fine Art degree at Liverpool John Moores University and became a qualified Post-16 Tutor, teaching art in diverse settings, including colleges and HMP Parc in South Wales.

Caris’s work has been showcased across the UK, with highlights including:

  • A large-scale permanent installation for the London Hilton Metropole telling the story of the Tyburn Stone.
  • Bespoke portraits celebrating trailblazing women for the Latitude Women’s Contemporary Art Exhibition, displayed on stunning 10ft tall billboards.

Caris also shares her creative expertise through engaging mixed media collage workshops—fun, friendly, and open to all.

Limited edition prints, cards, t-shirts, and homewares are also available.
