What is a Lenticular Image?

Lenticular images give the illusion of depth (3D), movement or merge two different images.

They do this by taking images and splicing them into strips. These are then interlaced with other images. Over the top of the image is a magnifying lens this is broken up into lenticules which show the viewer a different image as the image is viewed from different angles. - Charlotte Bearn

What is Mixed Media Art?

Mixed-media art, at its core, is an artistic approach that combines various materials and techniques to create a singular work of art. It is a genre that knows no boundaries, as artists can incorporate anything from paint and paper to fabric, found objects, photographs, and digital elements into their creations. - Nicolene Burger
