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 portfolio primarily shows work that has already 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. To see work that I have available for immediate purchase, please click here.
To see videos of how several pieces evolved from start to finish, click on the titles here: "Acadia in Autumn," "Westpark Lake in Autumn" and "Canadian Rockies with Lake."
