Hocking's Dairy Ices

Mixed Media on Wood Panel.

This commissioned piece was really fun to do. Hockings Dairy Cream Ices is a regular sight on the seafront at Appledore in Devon. It is a family run business that has been going since the 1930's and their dairy ice cream is still as popular today as it was then. The challenge in making this in relief was to get the rounded feel of the vehicle and tyres. The curtains were hand painted and the lightbulbs are made from beads.

This relief art canvas was created by Georgina Smith in her studio in Brighton . Each artwork is built up of multiple layers of card, cut to create a 3D image, which is then drawn and painted. Her paintings centre on familiar buildings found in Brighton, with a focus on those that have a sense of faded seaside charm.
