The studio
Kim Delaney creates murals, ceiling frescos, Venetian plaster, gilding, chinoiserie and verre églomisé for residences in Florida and beyond. Her work has been featured in LUXE Interiors + Design.
The brief
The previous WordPress site showed the work as a thin gallery and said little about what Kim actually does for designers and homeowners. The new site needed to feel as crafted as a gilded ceiling, while making each discipline clear.
