$55.00Medieval style miniature portrait of a poisonous frog at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens
Available as a limited edition, numbered and signed, archival print (4.5″ x 4.5″ printed on slightly larger paper). The original is painted and illuminated (gilded) in watercolor, ink, gouache, and 24k gold leaf on real animal vellum.
The limited edition, numbered, archival (giclee) print has been painstakingly created to capture the brilliance of the colors and metallics as a print of superior longevity on cotton rag paper.
This is one of my few miniatures in which the subject is depicted at close to life size. Even my butterflies are smaller than their real counterparts. This tiny frog is part of a permanent exhibit of poisonous frogs that I visit on my frequent trips to ABG’s Fuqua Conservatory. His intensely vivid greens were a delightful challenge to create, as was the moss. The surrounding leaves, like in the rest of my miniatures, contrast the realism of the animal with the fanciful nature of the foliage. In this case, they are more realistically inspired by the aspidistra leaves surrounding my backyard fishpond with its own, much larger frogs. This juxtaposition of reality and imagination allows me to illuminate marvelous creatures in the most unexpected places!

My Fierce Neighbors
$65.00Medieval style miniature portrait of two male lions at Zoo Atlanta.
I’ve long been obsessed with the lions that live only a few blocks from my home and studio. Back in the early 2000’s, if the wind was just right, when the leaves were off the trees, I could hear one lion’s frequent roaring from my own backyard. It was a most extroverted lion! Sadly, he passed of old age, and the shifts in our urban canopy no longer let the sounds of the others carry this far.
These lions are based on a photograph my son Skyler took on our visit in the spring of 2018. From their vantage point of their stacked boulders, the majestic males alternate between ignoring their visitors and briefly, grudgingly acknowledging us with a kind of mildly irritated noblesse oblige.
Available as a limited edition, numbered and signed, archival print (5 x 5 in printed on slightly larger paper). The original is painted and illuminated (gilded) in watercolor, ink, gouache, and 24k gold leaf on real animal vellum.

Glistening Flames
$1,850.00Glistening Flame is part of the Celestial Collection, inspired by my passion for astronomy and my love for twinkling stars amidst dark skies. The Russian filigree elements were created with platinum enhanced sterling for the frames and pure silver for the indivually formed filler wires. The dangling chalcedony drusies have been vacuum bonded with titanium to create the blue color and enhance their uniquely faceted brilliance. They are set in platinum-enhanced sterling bezels.

Harriet
$65.00Available as a limited edition, numbered, archival print (4″ x 6″ printed on slightly larger paper at $65). The original is painted and illuminated (gilded) in watercolor, ink, gouache, and 24k gold leaf on real animal vellum.
The limited edition, numbered, archival (giclee) print has been painstakingly created to capture the brilliance of the colors and metallics as a print of superior longevity on cotton rag paper.
Harriet is a Medieval style miniature of a beautiful, Masai giraffe with whom I spent some time at Sand Diego Zoo a few years ago. She graciously posed for a number of photos on which I based the portrait. Getting her unique and characteristic spots correct was about as time consuming as all the filigree in the three pairs of earrings combined. Fortunately, I could work on her as I traveled and taught around the planet in 2017 and 201. As giraffes go, she was exceptionally portable.

Rumi’s Luminous Confections
$21,600.00Each Eastern repousse segment was freehand forged individually, framed in planished round wire, and highlighted with 24k gold keum boo. Each rainbow hematite was set in a 22k gold bezel with sterling, scroll-worked wire to add space and light for contrast. The repousse shapes are inspired by ‘rumi’ designs in Islamic art. Like an ‘arabesque’ is an abstracted leaf, a ‘rumi’ is an abstracted bird or insect wing, and also the name of a 13th cent., Persian, mystic poet, Jalaluddin Rumi. As the necklace came together, my further abstracted and three-dimensional forms reminded me of chocolate confections, sprinkled in with gold and colored sugars – a tribute to a poet who wrote of light and love.

Majestic, gold granulation ring
$8,200.00The form of this gold granulation ring is inspired by the pyramidal rings in the Sutton Hoo hoard found in England. The base is an Eastern repousse pyramid that is forged out of one sheet of sterling silver with no seams. Upon the pyramid are organically formed sections of 18k gold fused granulation that draw the eye upward to the apex of the pyramid, a 22k gold bezel set pyramidal, pink tourmaline, surrounded by 22k gold granules. The 18k gold granulation of the shank echoes the undulating designs of the ring’s top.

The root beer obsidian is faceted to show off it’s magical, clear, deep orange glow and is set in a 22k gold bezel that allows light to penetrate it from all sides. The fine silver, Russian filigree is framed by 18k yellow gold to bring out the stone’s color. The bezel’s unique cage and shank are fabricated of sterling silver to reflect light, reduce weight, and add to the laciness of the structure. 1-5/16″ x 1″ x 1″, size 6.5 (This ring can be sized up or down up to one full size.)

My Wild Neighbor the Meerkat
$65.00This miniature painting is based on a photograph I took of a very serious meerkat on sentry duty at Zoo Atlanta. She was quite suspicious of the humans circling her home. For her portrait, I set her within a Medieval style, acanthus leaf, foliate frame, painted with watercolor and accented by 23k gold gilding and inked filigree on animal skin vellum. While one might not expect a Medieval meerkat, it was quite common during the Middle Ages and Renaissance for all types of animals, real or imagined, to appear woven within such page borders of hand illuminated manuscript books. I decided this precious and dignified, yet whimsical creature warranted her very own fairy tale setting.
