Collages, animations and visual poetry

Visual collage including a range of animals and flora, text reads 'A Miscellany of Things'

Hello, and welcome to my website. I’m Sarah-Jane Crowson, a collage artist and visual poet based in the UK.

This is a tiny selection of my work and can see more of my artwork in my portfolio.

You can read about where I’ve been published here, and more about me here.

I enjoy collaborating with other poets and artists, and I occasionally undertake illustrative commissions, so please contact me if you are interested in working with me or commissioning me for a book cover, animation or illustration.

A circle, slightly resembling a full moon, is outlined in a blue-black sky with a blurred treeline at the base of image. Inside the circle, a paler sky with wispy feathers or a tree. these form the wings of a F figure dressed in edwardian skating outfit. Three small luminous bubbles show a crow and lighter sky to bottom mid-right. Four mushroom (vintage scientific illustration images) are to the bottom of the image. Text reads above the image '(4) The evening sky turned abalone, and below 'moon-drenched'.....'cooler than pearls'
Blue and aqua watercolour background with vintage map of the Rhine overlaid, two female figures with cactus flowers for heads sit within a glass ball like a marble, and a weathervane and dice showing the number one can be glimpsed over the map. Erased text reads Love is/ dust-e-d vertigo/ a wave/ to / chance/ i wait/ i light (fading out towards the end so 'i light' is barely visible).
