Cas Holmes is based in Maidstone, South East
I work with textiles, paper and found materials .The often overlooked things of daily life and observations of the land inform my work the, paint, mark and 'stitch sketching' to capture a moment before it is gone.
I have pieces in collections, including the Museum of Art and Design, New York, Arts Council England and the Sir Leonard Cheshire Foundation.
