A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Kim Major-George, a highly respected British collagraph artist and illustrator has been specialising in esoteric art whilst travelling on her personal journey. After graduating from Art and Design college, Kims art career has spanned over 30 years from surface pattern designing for the gift industry, teaching Art and Design, to book illustrating in the 90 s. Her work load with high profile clients like Habitat, Harrods, John Lewis, Safeways, Debenhams and Boots took its toll and, as a result, her own personal health suffered; a rethink into where she was going was urgently needed. Her journey into the esoteric world and the consequential imagery that followed was a result from the quest to find a work/life balance. She found a commercial outlet for her personal imagery in the Mind Body and Spirit industry through books, magazines, cards and promotional literature and commissions for her very evocative imagery of dream landscapes, other dimensions, astrological imagery, angels and unicorns as can be seen in esoteric market place today. The journey into collagraph art came on the back of an interesting book brief, requiring images from the mythological world of Lumeria, the time before Atlantis. This process so intrigued her she followed it through, by layering the images up with mixed media, iridescent metallic threads and precious foils, taking collagraph prints in a new direction. She has now taken her hand embellishing further, with many of her large gallery pieces exploring texture and the marriage of collagraph with tarnished embossed metals, soluble fibres, natural barks and stitching. She now supplies galleries, fulfils commissions from private clients, sells and demonstrates at art shows and craft centres up and down the country and is President of the Beds, Bucks and Herts Print Society.
