Poppy’s atmospheric images are simplified and distilled to embody an essential sense of place. They vary from being dreamy and contemplative to dark and moody. Poppy works within that ancient and broad tradition of looking at a landscape, drawing, making colour notes and combines this with digital photography. The image is then made later in her studio.

Poppy prepares her supports herself usually choosing the irregular surface of muslin or some ‘found’ or quirky support in preference to the perfect canvas. She uses the traditional media of oil, acrylic and particularly egg tempera.
