www.LilliHeart.com
Lilli Heart is an award-winning goldsmith and enamel artist. Her early accomplishments as a goldsmith, and later as a well-known weaver, led to her mastery of the art of cloisonne'. Lilli was a leading pioneer of cloisonne' as a contemporary art form. She was among the few to create cloisonne' in large sculptural dimensions, acclaimed for her intricate color work, deftness of detail and imaginative melding of abstract and figurative designs. Her designs are collected by countless celebrities and art connoisseurs. Her works have been displayed in museums, galleries and fine jewelry stores throughout the country.
Locally her work has been exhibited at the World Headquarters of Bank of America; a large one-woman show at Shreve & Company; three designer premieres at I. Magnin, San Francisco; special showings at Sidney Mobell Fine Jewelry stores; and her cloisonne' pieces were included in the Louis Comfort Tiffany Exhibit at the M.H. de Young Museum.
Lilli's recent Angel of Hope and angel series of small sculpture are cast in fine pewter, hand-finished and plated in 24 karat gold.
