Villa and Rose Create Unique Hand Crafted Wall Art and Shelf Display Artworks
Yes, it is a passion and fascination with creating mini artworks all housed within old wooden letterpress printers tray drawers (type cases as printers call them). I have created and sold over a 1000 of my printers tray artworks worldwide.
I have recently started to design and create mini framed wood panel artworks in my studio and workshop. These are all hand crafted and original designs by me.
I have been collecting small, mostly vintage items, for decades. This includes finding objects in nature, visiting auction houses, charity shops, antique and curio shops, car boots and generally picking up 'little things' as I like to call them for ages. I store these in my workshop and create original artworks in my studio. I also love designing and making small, mostly wooden items, in my garage workshop.
I came across my first printers tray artwork back in the late 1980's, in a London flat, which had been created by a graphic designer friend of mine.
After studying at the London College of Printing (now London College of Communication), working in advertising, graphic design and publishing I now create these artworks and sell them on Etsy, when not working as a PA for a person with disabilities in Wakefield.
I love creating them and can spend many hours putting one together - it's more a love of designing, making and curating the items that I find most enjoyable. No two are ever alike.
