Hand-Painted Signs & Gold Leaf Lettering

Hello, my name's Kit Tinkler. I'm a traditional painter & sign-writer mostly working in London and the South East [and occasionally in Sunderland and the North East].

I completed my bachelor's degree in Fine Art at the University of Sunderland in 2011 and since then have sold paintings to private collections around the world.

Working with companies and individuals across Northern Europe, I produce unique hand-painted signs & artwork for both interior and exterior applications.
