Marsh grass
creative thorp
…is a vehicle for all things creative – accessible art, stunning images, evocative words, creative ideas and imaginative design. It is the vision of designer Mary Thorp and writer Steve Thorp. Mary is a member of the Chartered Society of Designers who has worked in the field of workplace interior design for many years. Her photographic images rely on the emotive lighting effects of the seascape and headlands. Colour, texture, form and beauty are distilled through the lens and printed in a format designed to engage the viewer. The images are available as framed and mounted prints, handmade cards and boxed card sets. Steve’s writing is inspired by landscape, and explores the themes of searching and belonging. His poems are currently available in collections of themed poetry card box sets.
