I’m a textile mixed media artist, working with paint, fabrics, embellishments and free motion embroidery. I get my inspiration from walking in the countryside and seaside. I love to collect grasses and seed heads, shells and interesting items I can use in my art. My work is all original one off pieces which I have sold all over the world.
Painting, printing, collage and felting in a wide variety of style
I am a printmaker with an unusual worldview which informs the imagery in my artworks. I care about the environment too, so nature is everpresent. Work available will be a mix of wood engravings, drypoint etchings and collagraphs
Caris Jackson
Collage Artist Extraordinaire
The abandoned, unloved and unwanted are transformed into unique opulent art, 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 storytelling, history and drama.

From there, she pursued a Fine Art degree at Liverpool John Moores University and became a qualified Tutor, teaching art in diverse settings, including universities 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.

I create collage images of Shropshire market towns using paper from recycled magazines . The originals are photographed and turned into prints and cards.Prints are sold framed or unframed.
