Illuminated Artworks
These works are largely inspired by the illuminated manuscript and icon traditions. This in an ongoing series and seeks to join contemporary furniture expression with a larger river. They are an opportunity to bring forth colour with egg tempera and natural pigments, and light with gold leaf. Also included here are works on paper, visual and poetic.
