Jamie Barthel elevates the traditional craft of reverse painting to luxurious heights with her luminous chandeliers and sconces. Each piece is a beacon of light, casting colorful reflections that dance across the room, embodying the delicate balance between light and art. Jamie remarks on the transcendent quality of her creations, "Please come by in the evening, even when we are closed, and see how they really glow. No matter the time of day, the beauty of these pieces shines through, illuminating their surroundings with an enchanting light." (Image "Santa Fe" reverse painted oil on glass)
