The item has been exquisitely custom-designed and hand-painted by shop owner/artist June Parrish Cookson. Desk painted freehand using custom chalk paints in a harmonious arrangement of varied colors depicting repeated florals, faux fretwork, motif borders, and oval-shaped plaques. Muted gold metallic paint and black-inked line-work represent highlighting and emphasis on details.
