Description: This tile is mint. We are not only lovers, we are the closest of friends." - Simone de Beauvoir Houston Llew's work in enameling is based on his belief that meaningful art is about emotion. Thus, every Spiritile created reflects a piece of life's story. These icons bring to mind the people we love, the things we cherish, and the passions we pursue. When collected, Spiritiles become a montage of moments that make us smile, laugh, remember, and dare to dream. Houston Llew started his venture inside a hot garage in Atlanta in the summer of 2008. A combined vision for art and an eternal optimism turned a dreary economic situation into an opportunity to deliver a beautifully handmade art product. Today, Houston makes Spiritiles out of an expanding art studio near downtown Atlanta employing ten full-time artists. Spiritiles are part of the evolving story about wall art enameling. Houston traces his lineage back to Fred Uhl Ball, an artist and teacher in the mid-1970’s who dreamt of glass on metal murals and brought them to life. He took a medium focusing on small enameling techniques for jewelry and experimented in glass and metal to create wall artwork. Through strange and fated opportunity, Houston Llew met Zingaro, who mentored Houston in enameling techniques. Through their collaboration, combining the medium with the best industrial design they could find and Houston’s love to explain things by quoting famous authors, Spiritiles were brought to life.
