The talented artist Johnathan Schultz gifted a beautiful piece of art inspired by Japanese cherry blossoms. “Gem, my character,” the artist said about the piece. “Is like a canvas for me. I used acrylic paint on resin to give the pink base color and then by using my unique techniques I added multiple layers of rose gold to the eyes as well as forming the blossoms on the branches across the body of Gem. Combining precious metals with Gem and incorporating the style I used forms a warm yet modern feel on a beloved Japanese cherry blossom-infused work of art. Couldn’t have found a more perfect home for this beautiful piece than with the amazing Chef Nobu!”
