Folk art has many admirers. Kent-based Anne Kelly specialises in recycled textile folk art, much of it inspired by nature, particularly birds, and her world travels.
For these multilayered one-off pieces Kelly uses recycled fabric, string, paper and ephemera, with collage, stitch and photographic techniques to create a range of work, framed and free-hanging.
Her commissions come via advertising, her website and word of mouth. In 2010, a commission by the Archdiocese of Southwark in London was presented to Pope Benedict XVI and is now in the Vatican collection in Rome.
