Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.
She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey.
‘Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,’ said the artist. (read the rest here).

Caux Collective’s Artist Analysis: Aled Lewis (Part II)
Before we get too far into this post, if you’re not quite sure who Aled Lewis is, to save me from forcing our more regular readers to read the same thing twice, head over to ‘Part I’ to read a little more about Lewis, and his project ‘Video Games vs. Real Life’ before you indulge yourself in this post.
In this post we’re going to take a look at a small selection of pieces from another of Aled Lewis’ brilliant projects named, ‘Toy Stories’ in which a number of small toy humans, animals, dinosaurs and other figures have been placed into a wide range of hilarious scenarios and conversations, in a delightfully amusing, inspired, anthropomorphic style. These scenario’s range from guilty Foxes and surprised T-Rex’s to grumpy Mammoths and sneaky Sharks and everything in-between, with every piece even funnier and more creative than the last.
If you’re a fan of what you see here then head over to Lewis’ website, which is rife with even more truly ingenious work or his Behance profile where you’ll also find plenty more of his work.
We hope you enjoyed this post. If there are any Artists you’d like us to write about, or you’d like to give us your opinion on any issues we’ve raised in this post, contact us on our Twitter, email us on cauxcollective@live.co.uk or message us here on our Tumblr page.
