Hello my name is Hazel, a local artist and crafter from Oxfordshire.

 

As a child I always had a pencil in my hand and loved drawing, however, I had never tried painting, that is until 3 years ago when I went to a couple of art classes

 

I like to paint in a variety of mediums such as acrylic, pastels, watercolour and wax, better known as Encaustic Art. This a favourite medium of mine as it involves melting coloured wax using an iron or stylus to create a variety of colourful and unpredictable art.

 

 During lockdown last year due to COVID, I was extremely lucky to be given the honour and privilege of being commissioned draw people’s pet portraits, again something I had never tried before.

 

I am always doodling as I call it, and from these doodles I make them into cards.

I paint on canvas, wood and slate, if I can paint it or make it I will give it a go.

 

I’m available for commissions.
