PORTFOLIO 3: Abstract Paintings in Fiber

My abstract paintings in fiber combine dyed and hand-painted silks, layering and needle-felting.  Each shade of color in the collage is produced by a different piece of fabric. I assemble the work without the use of adhesives or stitching, using a needle-felting technique which merges the different layers of color together. I use free-motion embroidery and/or bobbin embroidery to highlight details.

 
Most 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.
