+ FORE-EDGE PAINTING +

In 2021 I stumbled upon an amazing form of painting called Fore-Edge Painting, which is painting done upon the edges of books. Typically hidden behind the gold gilding on expensive books until the book’s pages are fanned and then the painting “magically” appears! I decided that I had to learn more about this amazing new art form and began learning. I currently have been painting on the closed edge of books, so that they’re always visiible, until I get the technique down for gilding the pages myself, and after that I will definitly be offering the “hidden” variety of fore-edge paintings, as well.

Please be sure to check my ETSY often, as all of these are one-of-a-kind and my inventory is always rotating. Feel free to message me questions about commissioning one of your own!
