From the depths of obscurity comes creativity

In a picturesque corner of Kent, that’s where Fauve Collective started out – not a particularly thrilling, or glamorous place but rather somewhere you might like to retire. It would seem that when you’re subjected to the sluggish suburbs of England, creativity can provide solace to the tedium and occasionally exciting things will happen. In this post, Claire Cullen AKA KitschReligion tells a…
