Amanda Sutton creates coastal landscapes on glass, using techniques she has developed from Verre églomisé. This is a term employed by French sign writers who create highly decorative shop and café signs using mirror. Encompassing several techniques that include etching, applying metal leaf, painting the backs of mirrors, Sutton uses the warmth of distressed gold and silver leaf to impart the fleeting tonal lighting and reflective qualities of sea, sky and coastal flats.
