Our Art Gallery Collection represents a little world in miniature. Furthermore,you will own a one off original miniature painting which has taken hours to create. It can be kept as a keepsake gift and memento for years to come. Or for those who enjoy the doll’s house miniature world of collecting, the painting could be hung in a dolls house setting as a dolls house miniature painting.
A little about the painting itself:
This famous painting representing Hemera (the goddess of Day) by French artist Bouguereau, was typical of many his works bringing to life goddesses, nymphs, bathers, shepherdesses, and Madonna’s in his almost photo-realistic style in a way that appealed to wealthy art patrons of the era.

Artist statement:
Living my entire life in the Lincolnshire countryside surrounded by flowers and nature has inspired me with the colours and shapes of the natural world. Consequently, I love bright colours and find the variation in texture and form that plants impart fascinating, which in turn influences my work.
Moreover, I am brimming with ideas and constantly creating things. In addition, I enjoy finding uses for unwanted fabrics and yarns. I relish the challenge of producing something beautiful and unusual from discarded scraps.
In this high-tech age of hustle and bustle, I find myself increasingly preoccupied with keeping alive the traditional sewing and knitting skills and values passed down to me. In addition, I believe these qualities should be preserved for future generations. While I dislike the throwaway society we have become, I wholeheartedly embrace the ‘make do and mend’ attitude that our ancestors believed in.
Finally, my original artwork disciplines mainly focus on painting (including my love of miniature paintings) and textile art (including creative knitting and hand embroidery). Furthermore, I enjoy designing luxury greeting cards.
