Gael and Howard met at Kent State University in Kent Ohio where Gael was majoring in enameling under William Harper. After graduating in 1970 they traveled for several years, finally settling in Key West where they began a life long collaboration creating finely detailed cloisonné jewelry and small objects.
They moved to the small coastal town of Lake Worth in Palm Beach County Florida in 1989.
Over the years Gael and Howard have shown at numerous invitational gallery and museum exhibitions and as well as juried shows through out the US.
Nationally recognized for their technical mastery of the cloisonné technique, Gael and Howard Silverblatt are recent recipients of a State of Florida Visual Arts Fellowship Award.
“We are fascinated by the challenge of cloisonné as a medium to portray the antics of minute characters in the midst of detailed backgrounds".
With the continued support of many collectors around the country they have been able to devote the time necessary to make their very labor-intensive art.
