Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Caroline Dewison

Caroline Dewison is an artist from  Warrington, England,  whose love of nature has culminated into a world of small miniatures.In the realm of craft and design, Dewison pushes boundaries and create extraordinary pieces that captivate the imagination.For several years, the Warrington-based artist experimented with beads and clay to make small sculptures, but she was never quite satisfied.Inspired by the woodlands around her home and holiday walks through the Lake District,Dewison began to recreate mystical scenes of streams, shorelines, and hills in miniature.Using Jesmonite — a mixture of gypsum and water-based acrylic resin — to fashion frames, plus a lightweight MDF for the backgrounds, Dewison sources a range of small boxes, model-making supplies, and acrylic paints to create each intricate scene.For landscapes, she particularly enjoys using a type of clay that melds the malleability of clay with the strength of epoxy, plus a favorite 3D-printing pen.Dewison brings imagination, reality, and a certain finesse to her miniatures,“I didn’t really set out with the intention of making miniatures,” the artist shares.“They just turned out that way.”More of Caroline Dewison‘s magical miniatures can be found at https://www.ahouseofwonders.co.uk/.
