About Me
Hi! I’m Brittany, a registered midwife and nurse from Hobart, Tasmania.
I absolutely love my job as a midwife, but the demands of shift work, understaffing, and hospital politics left me feeling burnt out. To unwind on my days off, I taught myself the art of creating textured pieces. What began as a creative outlet has since blossomed into a passion and dream job.
I now run a small business, collaborating with clients to create beautiful custom pieces that add warmth and charm to their homes and businesses. I also continue to practice as a midwife, providing antenatal care to the women and families of Hobart.
I have found immense joy and fulfilment in both of my professions - midwifery and art. Balancing these two roles has deepened my appreciation and love for the work I do.
Nothing brings me greater happiness than creating handmade art that will be treasured in their homes for years to come.
Please see my FAQ’s below, and don’t hesitate to contact me for more info!
Love,
Brittany xx
FAQs

If you would like my price list, please enquire below under 'contact' or via Instagram DMs.

No! I believe that art is individual and unique to each home, so there is no additional charge for ordering something perfect for you.
-
Yes, I am definitely flexible with payment instalments.
I recognise that everyones financial situation is different and what works for one, might not work for another! For example, some clients prefer to pay in one transaction, whilst others might prefer to pay $50 per week.
Please talk to me directly and we can make a plan to suit you.
Please note, handover of the art will occur once the final payment is made.
-
I understand that sometimes preferences and personal circumstances may change. Below is an outline of the payment process and available refunds.
When you first enquire with me, we will discuss the details of the commission, including quantity, size, colours, and design. After our conversation, I will provide a fixed quote based on my price list and any applicable discounts.
Once you are happy to proceed, I require a 20% deposit to book in your commission. As most canvases are custom ordered to size, this allows me to begin purchase of your materials and proceed with the initial design phase. Please note that this deposit is non-refundable once you have confirmed you are happy with the example palette and design, and I begin working on your canvas.
The final balance is due before you receive your artwork. If you are local to Hobart, you are more than welcome to view the work before handover, but rest assured there will be plenty of photos, updates and reviews throughout the entire process! Please bear in mind that if you are paying via bank transfer, your bank may hold payment for a short time, and I will be unable to release the artwork until payment is received.
For artwork being shipped interstate or internationally, full payment is required before shipping.
If you decide to opt out at any point, you will be refunded any payments made beyond the initial deposit. This also applies to clients on a payment plan who have made multiple instalments throughout the process.
Thank you for understanding, if you have any more questions, please reach out!

Generally, my waitlist is around 4 weeks. The the turnaround time from start to completion of art varies with size and detail.
As an estimate, a smaller piece would be 1 week and a bigger piece would be 2-3 weeks, however, this would be confirmed when enquiring.
The sooner you lock in your deposit, the sooner I can order your products to get started.

My choice of canvases are triple primed and purchased new for each commission, which ensures that they are of consistently high quality and stable over a long lifespan. I do not up-cycle any old prints or paintings.
Whilst there are many choices of medium available, many of which I have tried and tested, I have found that the most reliable, crack resistant and long lasting, is modelling paste.
My choice of premium materials will allow your piece to stand the test of time. All pieces are sealed with a permanent varnish after completion, which protects against dust, tarnish, wear, and moisture. Unlike some other varnishes, this finish will not become brittle or yellow over time.
