© Cecily-Kate Jett S E P T E M B E R / O C TO B E R 2 0 1 3 43 Cecily-Kate’s passion for design has been cultivated over twenty years as an award-winning stage designer in Europe. Her experience in distilling the essence of a client’s vision enables her to create gates that symbolize the soul and integrate the surrounding landscape. Cecily-Kate’s elegant gate designs come alive and dance with the changing light throughout the day. Juancarlos Fernandez of Signum Architecture describes her gates as “beautiful,” and he “loves the permanent movement within the designs.” Napa Valley Gates blends ancient and modern techniques to execute fine line drawings into exquisite and functional gates. Cecily-Kate uses the strength of steel plate for the design, finishing it with a variety of traditional patinas including an ancient “Japanese Brown” formula and the famous Tiffany Blue and Green for greater depth and character. The gate of your dreams will unfold through this discovery process from concept to design and installation. All of Napa Valley Gates’ work is site specific, serving homeowners of Victorian residences, wineries and restaurants. Cecily- Kate’s cut-steel plate designs translate beautifully into stunning interior panels, room dividers, landscape features, garden gates, fences and floating privacy walls.
