The Dorés Nature Collection 2011

Dorés Nature, or "Gilded Nature" is Carolyn Wheeler's exclusive venture in 24 karat gold, real silver and mixed media. Each Dorés Nature image is created on 11x14 hand sanded glass, skillfully varnished, painted and painstakingly finished with 24K gold and silver leaf. Each piece requires eight to ten delicate processes, five different drying periods and up to a week's time to complete. Because various stages of development are influenced by the changing elements of nature, no two pieces can ever be exactly alike.

Carolyn perfected the Dorés Nature process on her own through trial and error over several years time. In 2011 she applied for a patent and is presently the sole "keeper of the secret" of how it is created. Stunningly bold, and brilliantly beautiful, Dorés Nature gold creations will retain their value as well as their beauty for generations to come- a unique talent in the art market today.
