Gilding the Lilies

Artist

Sara Petroff

Description

Gilding The Lilies, unfolds like a little daydream vignette, inviting the viewer into a quietly theatrical scene. “Gild the lily” has become a firmly established idiom, originating from Shakespeare’s King John. It is a description of the process of embellishing or adorning something that doesn’t need embellishment because it is already beautiful or perfect.
