The Fine Art Mirror's that I create are hand-painted on wood, employing the methods of old-world artisanship to recreate the countenance of and ancient fresco. Each of the Fine Art Mirrors are authenticated by the distinctive seal and border found on the painting.
The wood's grain is my canvas, on which I have performed multiple hand-layered painting techniques to build the distinctive background that is a hallmark of my style. I then sketch my design directly onto this surface, followed by a painstaking application of paints to create colors and textures intrinsic to the piece. The addition of layer upon layer of glazes and varnish consummates the artwork's depth and translucency producing a stained glass effect. Through incorporating the colors of the frames into the painting and accenting the piece with gold or silver leaf, I have achieved total unity in design. Each one of my mirrors has its own certificate of authenticity.
I believe these exacting techniques along with architectural and artistic adherence to the authenticity of the era and locale that the work represents result in a masterpiece of heirloom quality that I know will be treasured for generations to come.
