Gold, copper, brass and silver articulated through artful expression and functional objects have an enduring allure to me. As I was developing the patterns for the Alchemy Collection I knew that gold would figure prominently. First I explored screening the patterns using matte metallic ink but it was my husbands suggestion to try gold leaf that really transformed them into something truly special. Above are a few inspiring pieces of art, objects and interiors.
