HAND PAINTED CHINA
I STARTED MY ARTISTIC CAREER AS A CHINA PAINTER MANY YEARS AGO, STUDYING WITH SOME OF THE BEST PAINTERS IN THE US. FOR YEARS I SOLD PAINTED CHINA AND PAINTED PORCELAIN JEWELRY. THIS IS WHAT LED ME TO PORCELAIN DOLLS.
A YEAR AGO I DISCOVERED A SOURCE FOR MINIATURE BLANK CHINA AND I BEGAN CHINA PAINTING AGAIN...IN MINIATURE!
THE TERM CHINA REFERS TO PORCELAIN THAT HAS BEEN COATED WITH A GLAZE AND FIRED,
CHINA PAINTING INVOLVES PAINTING THE PIECE WITH SPECIAL CHINA PAINTS (I MIX MY OWN) AND PUT INTO A KILN AT HIGH HEAT WHERE THE PAINT MELDS WITH THE GLAZE, THUS MAKING IT PERMENANT. TO GET A REALLY BEAUTIFUL AND PROFESSIONAL PIECE, MANY LAYERS OF CHINA PAINT ARE ARE APPLIED WITH A KILN FIRE FOR EACH COAT
PLEASE NOTE: MANY CHINA PIECES THAT ARE ADVERTISED AS DONE BY HAND ARE IN FACT DECALS (ALREADY PAINTED) AND COME IN A SHEET, APPLIED TO THE CHINA AND FIRED. SOME ARTISTS WILL ADD A LITTLE CHINA PAINTED SHADOW AND CALL IT HAND PAINTED.
MY WORK IS ALWAYS ORIGINAL, ONE OF A KIND, HAND PAINTED, KILN FIRED, SIGNED AND DATED(where possible). I NEVER MAKE THE SAME PIECE THE SAME WAY TWICE
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO HIGHLY REFLECTIVE NATURE OF PAINTED CHINA AND HIGH MAGNIFICATION OF PHOTOS. ITEMS CAN APPEAR COARSE
