Specializing in gilding, verre eglomise, custom stencils, color/design consultation, furniture finishes, handmade wallcovering, and eco-printing.

As the current president, I was honored to represent the Society of Gilders at the International Salon hosted by Heidi Zilmer in Horsens, Denmark.  This incredible annual event brings together some of the world’s finest decorative artisans to share and exhibit their work.
This year’s theme was Nordic mythology. As a small thank-you to Heidi, I gifted her a gilded glass piece inspired by Pierre Belon’s “Estranges Poissons Marins” (Serpent of the Sea). I finished the gold sky—literally—just before the closing dinner.  She graciously posed with me before we dashed off to get on our party clothes.  I hope she has some 22K gold leaf to finish the messy bits!

Reverse gilding on glass made with 22K gold, Silver, Japanese blue silver, mica powder and oil paints

Thanks to @yaekokurimata for the Japanese blue silver
