Photo source and dialogue by Elise Valdorcia The desire to create stirs within each of us, the question is what gift(s) were we born with, and how do we take it from seed to bloom and share it with others? Photo source and dialogue by Elise Valdorcia Elise said, "My greenhouse-style studio is conducive to creating all kinds of artwork, in all formats. It is an inspiring workplace where materials take form and gather movement, guided by shadows and emotion. The past meets the contemporary, poetry and dreams are made real, and works are crafted. My studio is a beating heart that brings sculptors from quattrocentro Florence back to life." Photo source and dialogue by Elise Valdorcia Each Saturday I like to use my blog to platform an artist that I admire. Today it is Elise! Photo source and dialogue by Elise Valdorcia "Sculpted wood, baroque and contemporary lines, gold leaf, glass, sheet metal, and paper mâché—they all meet here, and the adventure can be colorful or extremely minimalist."

I make mirrors, light fixtures, small tables, and other household objects, harmoniously mixing styles and eras. I am an artist and decorator, specialized in antiquing objects (using polychromy or gold leaf). My passion for my work comes through in my paper mâché creations.
