Southbank Bristol Arts

I originally trained as an illustrator - now I make and sew my drawings.

I create 'animal-friends' from recycled fabric, clothes, buttons, ribbons and trinkets. I love bright colours, pattern and textures - especially pink sparkles!

All of the animal-friends are lovingly hand made and totally unique. They're all very friendly and each has its own cheeky personality!

Alce Harfield has strong links with Bristol back to 1992 when she owned the eclectiv Silly Fish Shop in Clifton for 10 years. More recently she was artist in residence at the fabulous Glasnost Restaurant in Totterdown and still regularily exhibits in Bristol (Totterdown Front Room 06 and Paintworks Art Markets) despite escaping to Somerset 7 years ago!
Well known for her use of colour, this will be her first visit to the Southbank Arts Trail and will be showcasing her new range of contempory 'dribble' florals' (See image), vast sky landscapes , seascapes and south Bristol cityscapes.

Bristol Illustrators Andy Council and Tim Floyd will be drawing on the windows of the Southville Centre over the Arts Trail weekend.

Andy Council and Tim Floyd have been working for over a year now on window drawings around Bristol. They use paint marker pens to draw intricate designs and illustrations that are often based on the environment that they are working in.

Andy Council's window drawings and illustrations can be seen at - www.andycouncil.co.uk

I work from imagination to create my own poetic vision of the world around me. Over time, I have developed a number of themes and characters, largely with origins in childhood memory and dream imagery. My subject matter reflects my interest in, myth, folklore, history and magic and my characters express both the light and darker sides of human nature.

I moved to Bristol from London at the end of last year and see the Arts Trail as a great opportunity to show my work to many people and to meet other artists in the community.

I am a Design Graduate and create these pictures in my spare time for my own enjoyment and for friends and family. I utilise existing print media that I’m surrounded by everyday therefore recycling these materials to give them a new value. I extract images and incorporate them into collages to Illustrate familiar sayings and phrases in an amusing and fun way.

Exhibiting for the first time for the Southbank Arts Trail, I'll be sharing with you a series of collaged mixed-media paintings of the area, along with my love of a shaky pencil mark and undying obsession with road signage!...

All work for sale.
