"Discoloured, dog-eared end pages torn from decommissioned library books and other discarded volumes provide support for Mitchell's simple yet poignant watercolours. Carefully inked scenes and domestic animals are traced onto aged paper with simple washes and finely painted and monochromatic outlines. Geriatric and degenerate owners dabbling in a spot of Sunday-painting are evoked by Mitchell's watercolours which depict domestic pets sometimes uttering obscenities. Mills and Boon like fantasies, awkward social situations and history-book illustrations are also captured, seeming more like cathartic teenage doodles"--Information from Internet.
