'When a Philatelist spreads her wings'. mixed media abstract made up of lots of small stamp shaped painting, incorporating postage stamps, hot air balloons, butterflies and embellished with gold leaf. I called it 'when a philatelist spreads her wings' because it is inpired by my travels, and the stamps I have collected from different countries around the world. It could resemble a jumbled map or overhead view of a distant place.
