Just finished an amazing class, Creating Art with Natural Pigments on Paper, with Emily Donovan!
✨ Day 1 had me out of my comfort zone, but by Day 2, I found my groove again. Two days of inspiration, creativity, and special moments with family & friends. Thanks, Emily! 💛 #NaturalPigments #CreativeJourney #ArtWithFriends

Playing around with one of my plant prints and my sister in law’s ceramic flowers on a snowy day. Could be a new thing! @lisakillaby

So very proud of our grandkids who joined us @burlartgallery last week for the opening! They were eager to draw images and brought their own drawing pads to the event. Thanks to the wonderful team at Burl for making it a memorable evening.

Thank you so much to the folks @pillsburycastle for showcasing my work. It was an opportunity of a lifetime to gild multiple surfaces in their historic home.
“From the 6K gold leaf ceiling that greets you in the vestibule to the verre eglomise koi fish mural in the Music Room Powder Room, the talent of Amy at @aurora.finishes is unmatched. Her intricate artwork pays homage to the artists Alfred and Eleanor tapped to bring artisan touches to their home when they built it in 1903.
One of our favorite pieces is the Peacock silhouette in the main floor bar. Amy hand-painted the bird across three wavy glass window panels, displaying the perfect backdrop for a cocktail. “

What I’m doing this weekend.
Handmade, gilded wallcovering for a lovely client’s DR ceiling. Stencil was cut, weeded, sized and gilded, aged and now adding the flowery bits. More tweaking and aging tomorrow!
Thanks to @susanebrowndesign who believed in me and the creative folks @apropos_studio and @areaenvironments for letting me hang in their space! @jamiereich @sssssskip

Looking back at an earlier project I was on. I’m awestruck by the beauty of this carved alabaster chandelier. It really set the tone for the gilded rotunda ceiling design and walls. Thank you to @twistinteriordesign @sssssskip @apropos_studio
