I paint on upcycled teabags using watercolor paint. Each painting is a one of a kind work of art. Each piece is hand painted. I love creating pet portraits, house portraits, etc. I have painted over 4000 teabags that make up my portfolio which has a vast range of subject matter in a wide range of painting styles as well. They are all over the world.
