Rose Bouquet
Enamel on copper
Artists Statement
Any gardener or florist will describe how seeing flowers triggers the perception of their fragrance. That connection is more challenging when the flowers are colored glass, but still worth the effort. Here delicate florals, a form of Italian millefiori, recreate a garden of transparent and opaque enamels that helps the viewer to recall the pleasant fragrance of flowers. A found beaded collar and faceted beads present this enamel miniature.
Artist Bio
In a little hotplate on the kitchen table at age 12, Paula Sinclair learned to fuse glass to copper. Self-taught and matured, she now designs statement necklaces. With transparent and opaque vitreous enamels fired at 1500° F. or more into a gooey orange-hot mass, she surrenders to the unexpectedness of the heat effects. Her transparent enamels make light play through to the copper like stained glass. Paula Sinclair continues to practice law, living primarily in Twin Falls and often “vacationing” in downtown Boise. Her work can be seen at Full Moon Gallery in Twin Falls.
