After 20 years in the PR industry, Ingrid Altmann, decided that it was time for a change and to look at new avenues to branch into. Having always loved her art and painting, she was drawn to some concepts she had seen online, that sparked ideas for a new collection.

“I have always been passionate about recycling and upcycling items to give them a new lease on life,” says Ingrid. “I came up with the idea of adding comical characters to older pieces of artwork that I found in 2nd hand stores, particularly characters from my childhood, and that is how “This old Painting” began!

You can expect to see TinTin and Snowy bounding through the woods, Noddy and Big Ears navigating their car through a safari scene, SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends in a harbour being abducted by a little alien and so much more.”
