Original Glass Artwork – “Do Things That Make You Happy”

One-of-a-Kind | Hand Gilded | Art Nouveau Inspired
 
A statement piece designed to bring beauty, intention, and joy into your space.
 
Inspired by time spent in Paris and a love of Art Nouveau design, this original artwork centres around a simple but powerful message:
“Do things that make you happy.”
 
Delicately crafted and rich in detail, this is a completely one-off piece, created through hours of careful, hands-on work.
 
Craftsmanship & Materials
Hand-painted design on glass
23ct gold leaf gilding, applied to the reverse of the glass for depth and luminosity
Mother of Pearl and Abalone shell accents for natural iridescence
Hand-gilded frame finished in Dutch leaf for a warm, radiant glow
 
Each element has been thoughtfully layered to create a piece that shifts beautifully with the light.
 
Dimensions

A striking, large-format artwork designed to stand out in any interior.
 
The Inspiration
Rooted in the flowing elegance of Art Nouveau, this piece reflects both decorative beauty and personal meaning. The words are a reminder to live with intention - something I return to in my own life, and wanted to capture in a form that feels timeless.
