About whoopidoo

whoopidoo

Illustration, textiles and print making combining a love for nature, folk tales and spooky things.

Hello and welcome to my page. I am a mixed media illustrator maker who has lived on the Fife and Kent coasts all of my life. I cannot imagine not being near the sea.

My inspirations are taken from nature - life, death and everything in-between. Experimentation and layering is what I love to do. Rural and urban foraging has always been something I've enjoyed. Recently I've been using my found treasures to experiment with sustainable techniques trying to tie memory or a story physically into my work. ​I'm currently enjoying experimenting with illustrative soft sculpture, mixed media collage, print, paper and stitch.

I work from a little studio in the garage in my back garden. I am also at university, an eternal student - I'm in my third year of a BA in Illustration and Animation at the University for Creative Arts in Canterbury. I'm 42 - yes it has been a scary and exhilarating time to say the least. Never too late to follow your dreams. Cheesy but true.

If you'd like to see works in progress or pictures of the things that are currently inspiring me or causing the latest melt down then please do pop by one of my social media channels and say hello. I post most regularly on Instagram but in more detail on my blog.

Thank you for taking the time to read this far - my shop, much like life, is a work in progress.

Best wishes, Carmen
