“A smile is the light in your window that tells people you’re at home.” —Anonymous
Every Spiritile has its own story that inspires, uplifts, and brings a hopeful connection to life. Handcrafted in Atlanta, each is made with finely ground colored glass that is handpainted, fused to copper in a kiln at 1500 degrees, and then wrapped around a wooden frame (see more here). Spiritiles can be hung on the wall or displayed freestanding, and withstand direct sun, humidity, and even outdoor conditions. Care and hanging information here.

Artist Statement About This Piece: The First. The Original. The piece that holds a special place in our hearts, the first sketch to defeat what Hemingway once coined, “The White Bull.” Since then, nothing would be the same. Every Spiritile that came after would be new and different, but this Mona Lisa would remain “The Muse.”

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Houston Llew
Charleston, South Carolina
Through fortuitous circumstances, Spiritiles creator Houston Llew met the master enamelist Zingaro and learned the craft of glass enameling. His artistry has evolved from enameled imagery to a combined image and story design. This has become the cornerstone of his work.
