Water Gilding

In late 2008, Kimberly completed one of her biggest art projects to date.  She water gilded (ancient technique of gold leafing) a fifteen-foot frame for Saint Peter's Catholic Church of Charlotte, North Carolina.  The frame was designed by John Collier and constructed by Heritage Woodcraft of Salem, Oregon. It features a painting by John Collier.  The photos below will convey a bit of an idea of what was involved in this momentous project.  It was a lot of work!
