Ontario artist Elaine Hogg of ArtfullyNew launches collection
Beautiful made-to-order gifts & collectibles feature rich textures, decoupage, embellishments and stamping

Every ArtfullyNew made-to-order gift or collectible is unique. Artist Elaine Hogg is inspired by her client's story, the event or celebration.

Each new piece or project begins with a find: a door, wooden window frame, a picture frame - new or old, wooden furniture, boxes, items such as a milk jug or cutting board. For her murals, she needs a surface such as a wall, cabinetry, a fence or door.

Once the wood piece is decided on, Elaine coats it with stain or paint. "I like a lot of visual texture so often do some kind of faux finish," she says.

"I then apply the paper. I sand a lot between steps and distress with ink to get the right look." Next come the embellishments or charms. "When I am happy with the look I varnish."

Elaine likes to get a sense of the person for whom she is commissioned to make the piece. For example, favourite colours, hobbies and interests. Some customers chose the paper, box and embellishments.

Take a look at the ArtfullyNew Gallery! Think about what you want and where the piece will reside - we will bring your vision to life.

"As the proud owner and giver of a number of Elaine's creations, I can attest that each one is a unique keepsake. She incorporates into her work aspects of the intended recipient's personality and taste. The result is a one-of-a-kind decorative, and often practical piece, you would not find in any specialty shop - a guaranteed conversation piece." - Frances Jewel Dickson, Author, Nova Scotia
