The Pareidolian Pixies are created using the phenomenon pareidolia, or seeing faces in objects. Using random splatters of paint, no two pixies are the same, and I can never predict the faces that will appear once the paint has dried. Other than choosing the colours, I have very little control over how the pixies will look, and sometimes they take a long time to reveal themselves and their stories to me.

The pixies are painted on 100% recycled cotton paper, which adds a wonderful texture and shows off the granulation and separation of the paints I use. I almost exclusively use handmade watercolours from a few small paint makers around the world to achieve high quality, heavily pigmented paintings.

Although I have sealed every original painting with fixative, please try to avoid touching them, as the natural oils from your skin may affect the paint. All of the paints I use have a high light-fastness rating, but are best kept out of long-term, direct sunlight.
