A Visual Artist, best described as an enthusiast with an inquiring nature, I am fascinated by the process of making. I use traditional and digital media to explore real and perceptual change through repetition, re-evaluation and reduction. Observation is central to my work and I use repeating images to look again at what may have been overlooked to produce layers of dialogue creating a visual narrative.

I am currently exploring a number of ideas and continue to develop my skills in using Virtual Reality technology.

You can contact me by email at cliff@cliffcrawfordart.co.uk

I use social media to share and discuss my work and exchange ideas on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.

I am a member of  AxisWeb and Blue Monkey Network. A selection of my digital prints is available to purchase from SaatchiArt , and I have an NFT Collection `Hollo’ available on Rarible
