Encaustic Wax Art
I love working with encaustic wax. This is an ancient method of painting and involves using a small iron and other heated tools to paint with different coloured waxes. The effects that can be created are truly stunning. Wonderful abstract patterns can be made as well as completely unique landscape pictures.
Alcohol Ink Art
Another medium I like working with is alcohol inks. I use these on either ceramic tiles, Yupo paper (a synthetic 100% recyclable paper) and polymer clay. They are extremely vivid colours and allow me to create totally unique works of art. Alcohol inks are perfect for abstract work.
Photographic Transfers
I transfer my photographs using gel medium. The transfer process means that every image will be unique, as no two ever transfer in exactly the same way.
Transferred images are not perfect; there will small parts missing, but that's all part of the charm! I love the distressed, vintage feel of photo transfers.
My image transfers are available on watercolour paper, wood and polymer clay. The watercolour paper is quality 300gsm, the wood is usually pine and I use Fimo polymer clay.

Polymer Clay
I've been making items out of polymer clay for many years but now concentrate on using it in my small art creations. I make ACEOs out of polymer clay as well as using it as a base for alcohol inks and for making miniature wall hangings.
ACEOs
ACEO stands for ‘Art Cards, Editions and Originals’. They are highly collectable miniature works of art. They can be created in any medium but must measure 3.5” x 2.5”. They are a great, affordable way to own original artwork.
Most of my ACEOs are originals, although some will be limited editions.

Inchies
Inchies, like ACEOs, can be created in any medium and measure 1 inch square. They look great as a collection!
Downloads
Digital downloads are a perfect way to get your art instantly - ideal if you're in the middle of a project! You can print the artwork as many times as you wish. Downloads are only available via Etsy.
Dollshouse Picture Frames
I will soon be offering miniature dollshouse picture frames, using original photographs, illustrations or other mixed media and handmade polymer clay frames.
