Artist Biography & Statement

I discovered silk art and fell completely in love.  Silk painting is the art of applying French permanent dyes with batik wax, resist, salt, and other media to create a one-of-a-kind paintings, women's apparel, and textile designs.  My expertise in silk painting lies in mixing and applying colors with such subtleties that beauty radiates from each piece.  The silk painting process produces a rich luster that cannot be found in any other medium.

My creative development began while studying fashion design at Woodbury College.  Later, I finished my fine art education which included drawing, watercolor, airbrush, Chinese brush painting, lithography, silk screen and print making. Collectively, this led to producing various wall art designs and wearables.  

My work has been in numerous art shows, galleries and museums.  Capturing and creating the unrivaled beauty of silk painting is a constant pursuit where I can use my natural gifts, talents, and passion all in one process.
