Sustainability
6 ways I’m tackling sustainability within my business…
-
Shopping small
When possible, I buy my supplies from small businesses or busineses that make sustainability pledges.
-
Cruelty-free supplies
Where possible I make a conscious effort to use cruelty-free supplies such as synthetic paintbrushes (instead of natural hair).
-
Reducing waste
I reuse paper offcuts to create colour palettes that I include with my pet portraits. I also use a stay-wet paint palette to reduce paint waste.
-
Archival materials
I use a technique called conservation mounting, whereby all the materials involved are acid-free/archival.
-
Sustainable surfaces
My giclee prints are printed on eco-friendly bamboo paper.
-
Reusing packaging
I reuse packaging to reduce waste and make sure other materials are recycable/ made from recycled materials.
