Bonnie and Clyde is a contemporary British artist, working primarily in collage, photography and print. Crossing medium and type, Bonnie and Clyde’s work takes the form of mixed media originals on paper, wood and canvas as well as 3D pieces and limited edition screen-prints. Taking inspiration from music, film, nostalgic iconography and urban spaces, Bonnie and Clyde’s work interweaves themes of the current socio-political climate with emotional and more personal experiences. Travel plays a huge part in shaping her art, and as each image is distorted, cut and layered, Bonnie and Clyde creates bizarre and far off places that still retain an element of familiarity.

Steph Burnley (the creative spark behind Bonnie and Clyde) started her creative education studying 3D Design at Kingston University, before moving up to Manchester to set up a graphic design business. Whilst creating posters, illustrations, festival campaigns and book sleeves, Bonnie and Clyde also worked as a photographer, capturing urban fashion scenes for various magazines. After working in both graphic design and photography, she decided to merge the two and pursue a career as a fine artist. Fusing graphic art with photography and screen prints, Bonnie and Clyde soon developed her own unique visual language.
