Gold Muse

There is a vast network out there where many “things” are being mass produced by conventional manufacturing. This quantitative consumeristic means of purchasing goods is the opposite of what we desire. We debut our 2021 online art platform, Gold Muse, to bring sustainable and mindfully curated artwork from the East to the West. We invite you on a journey with us as we tell the story of each curatorial work and illustrate the way traditional craftsmanship can be transcended with a breath of new life. 

Artisanal

Gold Muse curates the highest quality handicrafts from traditional craftsmen to contemporary artisans around Asia. Each exhibition features artists who are rooted in their cultural heritage and strive to keep traditional craftsmanship pertinent while maintaining a sense of modernity and newness. You are the audience to witness the transformation of these artistic elements.

One-of-a-kind

The values of our unique product  are embedded in the concept of embodying cultural significance, possessing aesthetic value, and exuding harmonious energy.  Each piece is handcrafted with these standards in mind, eventually melding into one-of-a-kind pieces.  Each work of art is a product of mindfulness and inspirations.  It is meant to be preserved, reused, and admired eternally.

Majestic

Just as the word “Majesty” symbolizes benevolence, dignity, and excellence, Gold Muse aims to deliver harmonious joy and enduring pride to the audience.  We are committed to sourcing 100% of our pieces from artists who cherish and embrace human diversity, one that welcomes differences in age, race, ability, sexual orientation, financial means, education, and political perspective.  Our goal is to bring beauty and kindness to people from all walks of life.  

Art for a Cause

Gold Muse strives to revitalize traditional craftsmanship and bring uniquely curated items to your home. In return, our audience enables us to use our platform to promote wellness: in our bodies, minds, and souls.  A portion of the proceeds will go towards the artists’ designated charitable organizations that specifically promote wellness in beings.

Our Curators

Julia and Angela were merely adolescents when they met one another at a ballet school in Hong Kong, the metropolis where they were both born and raised. It was during the onset years of their ballet journeys when the two formed a friendship, one that has flourished into sisterhood despite diverging paths over the years. Their bond is embedded in their shared values for tradition, majestic beauty, and artistic expression. Today, they launch a platform to showcase their treasure hunting virtuosity.

WaiWai Julia Ie

Ballet has been Julia's passion since she started at 12.  She completed her Royal Academy of Dance advanced examination and further pursued her dancing in Cannes, France.  After her ballet career, Julia went on to graduate from University of Southern California with a business administration degree.  She returned to Hong Kong and began her venture in the field of advertising and public relations. With an extraordinary eye for fashion, Julia entered the fashion industry with a bang, first with DKNY, then later became the head of personal shopping with Dickson Concepts (International) Ltd., a Hong Kong-based luxury goods company.  Her love of treasure hunting invigorates her everlasting desire to procure uniquely designed wearable items from all parts of the world.

Angela Shiu

Angela has dedicated herself to promoting creative arts expression. Before arriving in San Francisco, she has lived in New York, Hong Kong, Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Los Angeles. Her professional training as a Certified Public Accountant enabled her to understand the language of business, but it is her devotion to dance that turned her into a ballet school owner while living in the Middle East.  After completing her MFA in Arts Management, she advocates arts funding in both private and public sectors.  Angela recognizes art not only improves well-beings, bridges cultures but also unites people.  There is never a better time for unity.  She wishes this platform brings you joy and the items we send you from Gold Muse will bring you fortune and health.
