(please click on the image for full details)

An accomplished and internationally awarded pastel artist, Jan Maitland was drawn toward Gilded Glass Painting during a visit to master glass artist Marco Toso Borella, in Murano, Italy. “I was inspired by his work on gilded glass and application of Gustav Klimt motifs. I knew immediately that I had to explore this exciting medium". Her unique style incorporates precious metal leaf and reverse painting, and often her figurative and still life paintings. Her highly original pieces have received artistic acclaim and she has done commissioned works for devotees in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oregon. Jan is a member of the Society of Gilders and studied gilding techniques with Frances Binnington in San Francisco.
