Carol Leskanic

The beauty of the perfectly imperfect, the power of sensitivity. Handcrafted objects, created using the traditions of the lost art of water gilding and embellished by the patina of time. CAROL LESKANIC is a designer, sculptor, and master gilder working between Bantam, CT and NYC. After training in the restoration and conservation of fine gilt objects, Carol found her passion in collaborations of traditional water gilding and contemporary art and design. Her work is sought after by a wide range of clients from interior designers Thomas O'Brien of Aero Studios, NY and Amy Meier of Amy Meier Design, CA; to fine artists, Philip Taaffe, Rachel Feinstein and Richard Phillips, as well as private collectors.
