Her uniquely textured work reflects ancient iconic imagery in a distinctive color-field style making use of countless layers of alchemical glazes and 23 karat gold. Her custom commissioned works adorn five star hotels, restaurants and luxury homes and is collected by island visitors from all over the world.
“I consider myself a symbolist painter in the decorative tradition of Gustav Klimt,” said Skaggs. “I’ve been described as an alchemist because I have never revealed my secret techniques, as my goal is to create magical effects. My teacher, a third generation British painter, taught me that if the viewer could recognize your process, then you had failed.”
