Welcome to my collection of artwork and gifts, I have some art placed in several galleries so if you can’t see now the subject you are looking for please contact me to enquire, as I may have just the right stamp art waiting for you elsewhere! I can advise on stamp art collections, if you would like to have a display of several stamp paintings that may be on theme together.
I can personalise artwork for you, using a stamp of your choice or one of a theme to suit your requirements, I am happy to help as you will see from my wonderful reviews which many happy customers have left (thankfully too many to show here!)
I can’t currently post overseas. However do get in touch to discuss this…I can gift wrap and send a gift directly to you or your friends in England, Wales and Scotland.. I will post using a tracked service, I cannot be held responsible for delays with postal services, but will work with you to ensure you receive your order.
Please note that I, the artist, retain the copywrite to the original artwork and the presentation, and the sale does not transfer any rights. Any artwork sold are intended for personal use only. The art work is not to be reproduced or used for commercial purposes in its current or altered form without permission.

Imagining the extended scene around these old picture postage stamps and providing a way to get them back out on display where they can be enjoyed.
My name is Tonia Jillings - I am an artist specialising in Postage Stamp Art with a particular interest in mixed media, having completed my BA Degree in Design Crafts, I love to explore all mediums. I am based in the Norfolk countryside in East Anglia, England. I create collectable art using watercolour paint for colour detail, oil paint for background texture and real postage stamps which are incorporated into the artwork.
I am inspired by all things philatelic, especially UK postage stamps. My art encompasses a wide range of subject matter, using both current thematic stamps and pieces of vintage postal history. There happens to be stamps depicting everything; from animals, sports, space and transport, to architecture and well-known figures from history and media, it seems like anything and everything in the world can somehow be found on the tiny canvases we call postage stamps…
Whilst my postage stamp art has been exhibited both locally in galleries and internationally at Stampex, it has also been regularly featured in popular philatelic publications and has a supportive worldwide following online.
My artwork originals have been described variously as ‘intricate, and wonderfully detailed, sympathetically rendered so as not to lose the essence of the stamp itself’- a frequent talking point when displayed on mantlepieces, or hung in pride of place in your home. They’re a thoughtful and timeless gift for friends or loved ones, each original piece is hand-painted and entirely unique. They make great First Anniversary Paper themed gifts, and are ideal for hobbyists and hard to buy for people!
I have a wide range of original Postage stamp art for sale and on show in galleries in North Norfolk and regularly create commissioned artworks for my customers, and many return customers - just reach out to me to begin our collaboration.
