This is an original hand painted silk painting. After the silk is painted and heat set, it is draped over a canvas and parts of it are glued to the canvas. The remaining parts of the silk remain soft to the touch. You can see the folds of the silk as it is draped on the canvas. The rest of the canvas is painted with acrylic paint to complement the design on the silk.

I have experimented with many different art techniques but it wasn't until I studied Painting on Silk at the School of Visual Arts that I found my preferred media. I love watching the dyes and paints interact with the soft silk and explode with vibrant colors and shapes. The hand painted silk is then shaped and glued to canvas and presents an opportunity to create a textured surface and more design options. My alcohol ink paintings also show the movement and flow of inks across yupo paper, ceramic tile or metal. In my silk and wood abstracts, the softness of the silk contrasts with the hardness of the wood. The wood shapes are made to complement the silk in color and design.
