Seahorse art – something unique!
Unique one-off Seahorse art. Patti Boness’ work is varied – from a simple style of Pointillism, which she has developed, preferring to use sepia and black pens, from Tuscany landscapes in acrylic, to work using slate, beach finds and metallic paints set in resin. Her inspiration comes from her love of the countryside and many years of diving, with her first sighting of a seahorse whilst diving on the south coast of England. Due to her passion for seahorses, Patti donates 10% from any sales of products featuring a seahorse to The Seahorse Trust.
Purchases can be made by contacting Patti at:-pattiboness1@gmail.com , via her Facebook page: PattisArtsandCrafts or on her Esty page: www.etsy.com/shop/CanvasSlateandWood
