After 20 years as a photographer, I found myself craving something different, staying in a creative role, the satisfaction of creating with my own hands, working with delicate and precious materials, and creating something that lasts.
Five years ago, I discovered gilding and hand-painted sign writing. Self-taught, I've spent those years learning heritage craft techniques, creating striking effects using 23ct gold leaf and oil enamel paints and how reverse glass lettering transforms a room.
