The paintings on show range from a tiny pygmy jerboa – a desert rodent – to a mini singer-songwriter David Bowie in his Aladdin Sane incarnation.
They include her Microcosm series of astronomical phenomena, such as planets, constellations and nebulae.
“I like painting the biggest things I can think of in the smallest possible space,” she says.
Also on display is her series of painted literary classics, each book about the size of a 50-cent coin. They range from a Penguin Classics edition of Jane Eyre to, quite appropriately, Arundhati Roy’s 1997 novel The God Of Small Things.
