Pen & Ink Portraits

It's an emotional day when you leave your family home
  • To downsize
  • Because of a job posting
  • Or maybe your staying and just love your home.

Either way, we can create a memory for you in whatever season appeals to you most. Just provide photos of your house, tell me what appeals to you most and leave the rest to me! Look in the art gallery to see another pen & ink home that was created.

Painting - Tole, Crafting, Miscellaneous

Tole painting is the folk art of decorative painting. Gillian began tole painting in 2005, supplemented by training in acrylic art through Andrea Mossop's St. Lawrence College workshop "Painting Extra-Ordinary" which focused on adding light into a project and 'Painting Green" held on a farm for 2 days - great fun!

Gillian paints on a variety of surfaces. Pen and inks are typically done on canvas but Masonite is preferred for the custom animal portraits. Projects have been painted on wood, including wooden TV tables which make a great gift; painting can be transferred onto tile to make unique coasters or the tile can be placed into the lid of a velvet lined box.

Prints can be made from your custom original so that members of your family can each receive one of their own, which can be also framed to match each unique decor of the home in which it will hang.
