Empress Arts

Empress Art�s story begins with Sharon Kuo, the daughter of internationally acclaimed artist Ming-Chaio Kuo. Mr. Kuo�s work has been represented in the Smithsonian Institution�s National Museum of Asian Art, The Vatican, and many museum installations around the world. He is also responsible for reviving the art of cloisonn�, a similar technique to "enamel-on-copper" dating back from the early 1800�s. Sharon, as a young girl followed her father everywhere, absorbing all his wonderful artistic creations and often posed as a model in many of his artworks. Mr. Kuo founded China Cloisonn� in 1964 and hired Sharon as a designer and production manager at the age of 18. Many of the most intriguing pieces in China Cloisonn�s collection were her creations. Empress Arts has come to represent a complete package for the gift industry: high-quality, beautiful products, pricing designed to include anyone who enjoys art and unique gifts, a seasoned company with a strong history.
