Delighted to introduce the front cover for the upcoming Winter 2025 Edition 🌟✨ Featuring an integalactic explosion of colour and glitter from the one and only Sally Victoria Art who uses expressive hand and fingerpainting to create dynamic and vibrant artwork.

Sally Victoria is an artist known for her unique technique of painting exclusively with her hands. Each painting is one of a kind, with colours blended directly on the canvas as she uses it as her mixing palette. This hands on approach creates a genuine connection between artist and artwork, allowing emotion and energy to flow freely through every movement. Sally loves to travel and gather inspiration for her art and her vibrant creations are filled with warmth and joy, reflecting her mission to spread happiness around the world through her bright and uplifting art.

Despite travelling to many places globally, Sally still loves to call Lincolnshire her home and loves the nature. She based the artwork ‘Spaceman Sparkle’ on the starry skies over Martin in Lincolnshire.

You can read more about Sally inside the pages of the upcoming Winter edition...
