Gilded Whispers of a Colorado Lily
Unique mixed media on brushed metal | 16 x 24 inches | Created 2021
Imagine gazing through a keyhole into the quiet heart of Colorado’s untamed beauty.
This intimate lily emerges through layered veils of soft, muted color, its form illuminated by delicately dotted metallic accents that hover like pollen suspended in air. Created on brushed metal, the surface itself becomes part of the story—catching light, shifting tone, and lending the work a subtle, living movement as the viewer changes position.
Multiple translucent overlays were applied to build depth and softness, then awakened with metallic detailing to create a hushed luminosity rather than overt shine. A high-gloss finish seals the piece, enhancing contrast and allowing light to dance gently across the surface.
This work is not loud. It invites closer inspection. It rewards stillness.
A moment of breath. A quiet glow. A whisper rather than a declaration.
 
A singular, one-of-a-kind piece for collectors drawn to restraint, elegance, and quiet power. COA included, Signed by the artist, special message inscribed on back. Ready to hang - floating mount, wired.

Crafted with over 30 hours of love and dedication, this work is meant to be discovered.
