“The Milky Way Reflected the River Bed”
2022
Light, reflection and space created by using gold leaf and pigments all formed on planet earth. My intention is to bring more light to a period in time where we all need it. These are interior mind landscapes.
The paintings and drawings are made using handmade materials. Egg tempera made with earth pigments, oak gall ink, and sumi ink sticks are just a few of the materials used to create these works on gold and silver leaf.
I will be participating at the Salon San Francisco 2023.

The 27th International Decorative Painters Salon “SALON”
The International Decorative Painters Salon brings together master decorative painters from over 25 different countries who share their work and techniques in this exhibition and live painting event. Participants of Salon include independent artisans, master technicians and teachers including finishers, restoration artisans, sign painters, scenic artists, gilders, and muralists.
Salon showcases many of the unique traditions of decorative painting, which are shared amongst the participants, and ultimately, passed onto their students and apprentices, inspiring the future generations of skilled artisans.
