"Gingerbread" by Roland Richardson.​​​​​ "Gingerbread" by Roland Richardson.​​​​​​​​​Artist words: "Imagination can be everything, capturing is another thing.
Years ago, I was intrigued by the remarkable array of ornamental woodwork that enhanced the older Victorian homes and the history that came with it. 
I embarked on capturing as many photos as I could as they were slowly disappearing. All art has an appropriate medium and pen and ink on paper appeared to address the detail. While working on several images it came to me, why not try and capture the depth of these by employing scroll sawed wood. And here you have it."

Most items we frame are 2 dimensional, however this artist took it to the next level and produced a sculpture from his series of drawings. We have framed each, the sculpture with it's description 
“Gingerbread” Architectural
The Heritage Collection
The expression “Gingerbread” came about in the 1600’s in Germany during the Christmas festive season as a custom of “baking” and “decorating” a tabletop house made of gingerbread, icing sugar and assorted candies involving the family’s imagination for the ornamentation.

As time moved on into the 1800’s through to 1910 and during the reign of Queen Victoria accelerated by the Industrial Revolution, homes were sprinkled with Architectural ornamentation incorporating elaborately detailed woodwork to embellish the upper gables and verandas which came to be known as “Victorian Gingerbread trim” or the “Carpenter Gothic style.” During these times influences from Asian countries added to the scroll work with assorted decorative dowels.
Here for you, is an example of what surfaced over time with many being unique.

  • MJ is very knowledgeable and professional. I had her collaborate with a graphic designer Karon Argue and they created a masterpiece for a gift I am giving.

Definitely recommend Art Effects for your artwork needs.
