“I like toast”

I like toast! Well who doesn’t!
The image above is of my selected artwork “I like toast” which will be featured in the Ranelagh Arts Festival Exhibition. IT’s been beautifully framed by FrameXperts with a bespoke custom frame, designed by me, specifically for this piece. There is also something extra special about this piece - I have embedded augmented reality in to the art. If you want to see it, you just need to download the Artivive App and then hold your phone up to the “I like toast” image above. You can then watch the artwork come alive!!
Or you can visit the painting in the flesh at the exhibtion and use the app on the real life painting to experience the augmented reality. The opening hours are below - hope to see you there!
