I have finally finished two new pieces of work – on the theme of The (Un-natural) Natural World: The King of the Beasts and Cockatoo
The mane of King of the Beasts is made up of hundreds of plastic animals. Both works will go on display in a one day exhibition – Art in the Aisles – in my local church of Kenton this weekend. After that …??
Beethoven has now been photographed and printed onto laminated aluminium (looking good!) and the next step is to film the disassembling of the original using time-lapse photography – a new process for me. The component materials will then be displayed in a clear jar (urn) alongside the print. Watch this space, as they say!

SO beautiful – love them both! Do I detect a hotdog and something that looks like bar of chocolate in the King’s mane…? And a fried egg on the Cockatoo? Brilliant!
These two are absolutely beautiful!! The lion is breathtaking and I love the use of shells on the cockatoo! I know its an art piece but how will you be able to disassemble Beethoven? I don’t think I would be able to do it! But I can’t wait to see the final result! Do you mind if I share these pieces on my art blog? I always link back to the original artist! I’ve share other pieces of yours before. I hope you don’t mind. If you do please let me know. Sabina https://orangemarmeladepress.wordpress.com/

Thank you so much for putting my new work on your Blog!
This is absolutely amazing! Found you through Sabina´s “Orangemarmeladepress” 🙂 May I ask how big one picture is? You´ve got such a talent and it´s awesome that you use this kind of materials! Sarah 😀
Hello Miss Gentischi – thank you for your very kind comments!
The Lion measures 80cm x 80cm – all my works are around that size
Thank you, Jane! And you´re very welcome 🙂
That´s an impressive size!! The biggest canvas I painted on so far was 50×40 cm.
Have a great day! Sarah 🙂
Best thing I’ve seen in ages. I particularly love the lion. 🙂
Thank you so much Graham (in your artistic hat!)
Great work!
Thank you Lady Fi!
The cockatoo came up on my Pinterest home page, wow, WOW WOW. Can I just tell you that your work is absolutely amazing. Beautiful, cannot wait to see more. So inspirational
Thank you so much Rebecca!
Where did you made this to pieces of work?
Absolutely mesmerizing art! I am so fascinated with all the pieces and how beautifully you put them together. How satisfying that must be for you. I do have a question and I’d be so grateful if you’d share with me what kind of adhesive do you use for your buttons? I’m just a crafter, I made an elephant using old buttons from my grandmother & mother’s button jars. It turned out pretty nice BUT the darn buttons started falling off the canvas about a month after I had it framed! I would be so grateful if you would impart a bit of your knowledge with me.
Continued successful inspirations. Deborah
Hi Deborah
Thank you for your lovely words. How annoying that buttons fell off – and so soon.
First – I don’t stick things to a canvas as it flexes. I have a hardwood base made by a framer.
I use a hot glue gun initially to stick on the materials. Then when I’m finally happy, I paint a layer of PVA glue (Modpodge) over everything,
wiping it off the surface as I go so that the glue (hopefully) goes down between the cracks. Hope this helps!
It is my greatest nightmare that one day, everything will fall off my pictures! Jane
