Environmental Policy

PACKAGING

  • I use recycled packaging when sending out your orders. I buy from eco friendly websites who use recycled waste to make their products, and wherever possible I will repurpose packaging from any deliveries I have. I refrain from using plastic and use glassine paper to protect paintings and prints, followed by corrugated padding to protect your goods.
  • All marketing media is printed on recycled paper, as well as printed products such as calendars and books.
  • Archival prints will have the specific paper used in the description of the relevant product.
  • I use local and UK businesses for my supplies, ensuring they have a minimum travel distance and support our local economy. 

PAINT WASTE

  • All toxic waste from my studio is stored in hazardous waste bins and then transported for professional disposal at a chemical disposal site. 
  • I reuse linseed oil and collect the paint sludge for separate disposal.
  • Paint rags are also stored in hazardous bins and disposed off appropriately 
  • My brushes are cleaned in linseed oil and wiped and then I use artist soap for hands and brush clean up.
  • NOTHING IS EVER SENT INTO OUR HOUSEHOLD WASTE OR DOWN THE DRAIN
