Jane Perkins, an artist based in the UK, brings a new element of fun and life to her artwork by incorporating found material, beads and buttons of bright colours to recreate artwork by masters of the past. Perkins asserts on her website that she enjoys art which is fun and unexpected, and that is certainly what her artwork conveys. 

My personal favourite is her recreation of Gustav Klimt's The Kiss and Monet's waterlilies.

There are so many more on her website so check it out!
