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, 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 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.
I have a wide range of original pieces on show in galleries in North Norfolk and regularly create commissioned artworks for my customers, many who follow the progression of the artworks from postage stamps to wall decor - just reach out to me to begin our collaboration.
