PORTFOLIO 2: Paintings in Fiber

My paintings in fiber are a combination of dyed and hand-painted silks, layering and needle-felting. I incorporate different weaves of pure silk to “paint” the image. Each shade of color in the collage is produced by a different piece of fabric. Then, using a needle-felting technique, I assemble the work without the use of adhesives or stitching. Free-motion machine embroidery and bobbin embroidery add additional texture and rich color.

All work is matted and framed.

The following gallery includes images that have been sold. I can re-create a similar piece for you. Please note it will be more like a sibling to the original piece, rather than an identical twin.

​Medium and Large Paintings in Fiber (framed to 16"x16", 16"x20" or larger)

​Small Paintings in Fiber (framed to 10"x10")
