Introducing Sculpt-Art ~ Hand carved paintings
Peta's hand-carved, sculptured artworks on board are quite unique giving her art a refreshing point of difference. As a completely self-taught artist Peta embarked on carving her artworks in 2004 and has developed an artform that is both visually stunning and tactile. These 'one off' creations are mosaic framed and include such trinkets and items as mirror tile, old or uncirculated New Zealand coins, Paua, and Greenstone.
