Fabric Art by Dr Aruna Mene B.E.M.

VIBRANT EXOTIC FABRIC COLLAGES



My fabric collages and craft works  hope to convey the joy of living, optimism and to celebrate life and 
are inspired by the enchanting natural world, travel to exotic destinations, humanity,  and my work as a Histopathologist.
All profits from the sale of my original art &craft  work , are sent to various charities I support in UK and India.
 My unique and niche collages are produced  from scraps of fabrics and textile waste with embellishments  , on canvas board ,thus preventing fabric waste ending up in land-fill sites. I accept coommisons from your suitable photographs.
