I am fascinated with the history and beauty of old single use or limited use objects or ‘ephemera’ and giving them a new lease of life in my signature handmade copper foil framed paintings. Old papers evoke feelings of nostalgia and provide a fascinating snapshot into the lives of people in the past and are beautiful in their own right. Obsolete typefaces, distressed surfaces and handwritten notes and provide perfect unique backdrops in their new life as an integral part of a piece of art.
Imagery from the natural world contrasts beautifully with these industrial pieces and I also use a traditional stained glass technique to ‘float’ frame them in my studio in handmade copper foil frames for an additional unique touch.

An original unique painting of a kingfisher on a branch using watercolours, inks, gouache and fine pen line work on vintage railway ephemera mounted between two sheets of glass.
This is a 1940s LNER Wagon Label to Hawick via Forth Bridge. The kingfisher is hand painted in watercolours and gouache over a pen and pencil sketch. The painting is framed between 2 pieces of cut glass and finished with copper foil and 40% lead 60% tin solder. Copper rings have been added and British made copper ribbon included for hanging.
This painting would make a lovely unique gift and is perfect for a collector.
