Footprints in the Sands
of Creation

Priscilla Purcell is a versatile artist whose expertise spans architectural renovation, and interior design, photography.

In her mixed media art, Priscilla combines elements such as paint, wax, stitching, and photography to create layered, evocative pieces. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for the interplay between structure and creativity, bringing a unique perspective to both her design and artistic endeavors.

Her recent architectural projects include the renovation of Campden Hill Towers in Notting Hill Gate, London (2020/21), and a property on Ganborough Road in Longborough, Gloucestershire (2013/14).

Through her diverse projects, Priscilla invites others to explore the harmonious blend of form and function, art and architecture, in spaces that tell compelling stories.
