Prayer Plants and Beach Finds‘ by Cyan Sweetman

CYAN SWEETMAN

Cyan has lived in Shoreham all her life and enjoys spending many happy hours on the beach.

Her artwork is inspired by the natural world. She loves to make painted papercraft houseplants, incorporating her beach-combing finds as pots, hanging planters and shelves. There is often a 3D element to her work, with each leaf being carefully cut out by hand to create a realistic effect. Cyan finds the process very therapeutic although it can be time-consuming, and a steady hand is required.

She also likes working with Alcohol Markers and Fine Liner pens, enjoying the way the colours can be built up and blended. This process has been used for her collection of bird and plant illustrations.
