I felt like a MERMAID surrounded by my silk paintings and wearable art.
This event was nice in that all the tents were set up in advance.
There is so much work preparing , setting up & then packing and unpacking the vehicle that after more than 10 years I’ve decided it’s my last show. It’s wonderful getting great feedback and sales but now my focus will be teaching and doing fundraising for special events as well as direct sales and galleries.
Commissioned to do a series of hand painted silk African animals for an event. In total about 40 pieces of different sizes and styles.
I live at the beach and spend my time in my studio or on the water. The ever-changing light and reflections are my inspiration. From sunrise to sunset it is ever-changing...
I enjoy solitary time walking along the shore break picking up shells and driftwood. When walking I love how I leave my mind and daydream and let creative thoughts surface.
Being on the water on my paddle board is a total immersion into nature...the green sea turtles surface and gulls screech and the herons stand like statues on the shore.
What could be better?!!
My art changes constantly: I'll concentrate on sea creatures for awhile then tropical flowers and then abstracts and then.....
Right now I'm loving doing cover ups, Ruana/Caftans, kimono style jackets and sarongs/pareos. Most are silk and some are rayon.
My line of clothing is perfect for resort wear and reflects the easy breezy life style of coastal living.
