Before starting Silver Brush Limited in 1990, Dee spent over 13 years selling brushes and studying under master brush makers. Her vision was to bring the highest quality brushes in the world to the American market. Today, artists from all walks of life share the experience of using our exceptional brushes in almost every corner of the globe.
A favorite of both professionals and hobbyists alike, Silver Brushes are the choice brush for prominent artists who have painted some of the world’s most distinguished figures. Subjects painted include luminaries such as Pope John Paul II; Princess Diana; US Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton and George W. Bush as well as First Ladies Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan.
Silver Brush Limited entered a new era with a new generation when Dee’s oldest son Warren Flax (who worked alongside Dee in the '90s), rejoined the company. As Silver Brush expands, we take great pride in maintaining the same core values on which the company was founded – superb quality, excellent value and outstanding service to the US as well as the global artist community.
- BLACK VELVET: Our Black Velvet brushes were created for watercolor artists and skilled hobbyists. Each Black Velvet brush is soft enough to add color without disturbing previous layers but firm enough to lift color when needed. Our Black Velvet brushes carries more color from palette to surface than any other watercolor brush.
