About Mimi Dickson

East London based artist and student nurse Mimi Dickson creates miniature works using illustration and collage to celebrate a feeling of home, and how each of us seek to create this in our own individual way. From Sunday evening egg and soldiers to champagne and oysters for date night, Mimi delights in creating tiny scenes that invoke a feeling of joy and comfort, because it's these every day scenes and rituals that we often take for granted, that really mean so much. As a small business I am conscious of reducing my impact on the environment and constantly strive to improve and find new ways of being sustainable. Outsourcing: I use UK based companies who are committed to reducing their environmental impact through innovation, reuse and recycling. These companies consciously use (and constantly strive to improve) their means of production in more sustainable ways. Prints: Prints are created on 100% recycled, FSC certified and uncoated paper. They are printed with a dry toner press system uses inks made from organic biomass and comply with standard de-inking and recycling practices. The ink used is non-toxic and food safe. Cards: Printed by a company who've been awarded Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and ISO Management certification. Packaging: As much as possible I use paper tape instead of sell, honeycomb paper instead of bubble wrap and will often use cardboard that I have received to package framed orders. Read their story
