Jamie Barthel is recognized worldwide for her skill & artistry in producing unique, hand-painted, reverse-painted chandeliers, lamps, lanterns and sconces. This timeless and highly sought after art form exists among a mere handful of artists throughout the world. Each chandelier, lamp, lantern or sconce is personally signed and numbered by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.Jamie Barthel’s passion for painting has grown from an art career that spans twenty-five years. With a background in Graphic Art and Textile Design, and an education in Fine Art & Psychology, Jamie’s passion for painting has been a constant since she was just a toddler.“From a very young age, drawing became almost a compulsion for me.

The woman enlisted me to design a handful of posters for the upcoming children’s bazaar.“Jamie paints primarily on sandblasted glass surfaces.

It is sandblasted on the outside to diffuse the light of the bulbs to give the paintings a soft, almost 3 dimensional effect and on the inside to allow the surface a ‘tooth’ to accept the paints.
