ARTIST STATEMENT AND CARD THAT IS SENT WITH PURCHASES.

A small piece of reflection and explanation to go with your Hand Painted Silk....

Hand painted means that my hands (and only my hands) have stretched, designed, painted, and finished the silk.

The silk is 100%silk and can be hand washed or dry cleaned.

The silk starts out white. I stretch it between saw horses and paint layer after layer of dye. Drawn designs are made with gutta serti, a product that allows me to control the fluidity of the dye. When the piece is complete it is steamed in my rocket shaped steamer to make the colors permanent, rich and luminous.

I consider myself fortunate and blessed that my time is centered around the relationship of color, texture, line and form. Being alert to design possibilities means that any moment, any seeing, can deliver the seed of my next painting.

I work alone and that lets each piece unfold in its own time. Without hurry I can see when the piece is truly complete and ready for its next phase of life, which is where you come in.
