Sabling

Sabling is one of the happiest souls you will ever meet. They find joy in everything they do, delighting in life’s small moments, Sabling does all they can to ensure those around them are also happy, pointing out beauty and joy in the world around them, From the smell of rain, to the feel of sand between their toes, nothing is too small for Sabling to notice and celebrate.

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.
