Gold & Silver Leaf

Hand-Applied Gold & Silver Leaf

Gold and silver leaf can add a completely different dimension to hand-painted artwork. I work with traditional leaf as well as variegated and spun leaf to create signs, lettering, details and custom artwork with depth, texture and a distinctive finish.

Gold Leaf
Traditional gold leaf has a look that simply can’t be duplicated with paint. Its reflective surface changes with the light and gives lettering and artwork a rich, dimensional appearance.

Silver, Variegated & Spun Leaf
Different types of leaf offer different colors, patterns and textures. Variegated and spun leaf can add visual interest and a more unusual character to a piece.

Hand Applied
Leaf is applied by hand and finished as part of the overall artwork. It can be combined with hand-painted lettering, pinstriping and other custom details.

A Few Examples of My Work

Here’s a look at some of my gold, silver, variegated and spun leaf work. Each piece offers a different opportunity to combine traditional sign-painting techniques with the unique character of genuine leaf.
