I’m Susan Hope Breckenridge, a mixed-media artist and the founder of The Shiny Object Studio. I create using paint, resin, fabrics, wax, fragments of nature, and recycled materials, intuitively building layers of depth, texture, and shine. I also curate distinctive pieces that bring beauty, character, and a sense of discovery to everyday life.
You can experience my art and curated collections in person at:
-
Crossroads Art Center —Richmond, VA
-
Bee Charmed — Glen Allen, VA and Midlothian, VA locations
-
The Lazy Daisy Gift Store Short Pump — Henrico, VA

Studio visits by appointment
A selection is available here on the website, while my retail locations offer an ever-changing collection of original art, vintage finds, and curated treasures.

Metallic Foils
The Shiny Object Studio is also an authorized retailer of Artistic Painting Studio (APS) products. From metallic foils to adhesives, stencils to rollers, we carry many of these quality products that create eye-catching embellishments on any surface. Gilding is what we love to do after all!
