Artwork Information
Artworks
Each piece is unique and made by hand from used postage stamps. Some pieces may look very similar in their shape but due to the stamps they contain, they are in fact individual. Depending on the piece, modern style or vintage style stamps may feature, or a mix of both. I also have a range using colourful Machin stamps.
Every artwork will come in a white frame (or if an option, a black one) with a Perspex front. This ensures that the piece is light to transport and is easier to hang.
The Map range is not cut out to be a true or exact representation of a particular country or place, but rather to give the idea of it. I have used my artistic license in their representation and I mean no offence. It is sometimes quite tricky to cut out such tiny areas such as islands or inlets.
Art care
Due to Perspex being used on the front rather than heavy glass, I advise that you do not use any form of cleaning products except for a clean, dry soft cloth, which you can carefully wipe the frame with. For the best results I recommend that you gently blow away any dust that accumulates on the Perspex and the frame ledge at the bottom as wiping it could easily cause scratches.
Hanging your artwork is specific to where you want it to go within your property, however I advise
not to place your artwork in direct sunlight or near a heat source as it will be detrimental to the
longevity of the piece.

Commissions
I would be most happy to create an artwork specifically for you. An initial deposit of 50% of the final cost will be required to start the project. The balance is then required upon completion of the artwork.
Please do get in touch if you have any specific ideas that you'd like to talk through.
