Silk Scarves Available for Holiday Gifts

By on November 25, 2013 in ecoprint

I have a lovely collection of one-of-a-kind scarves created using fallen leaves that I gather on neighborhood walks. The leaves are pressed and steamed against the silk, and the colors and patterns of the leaves transfer to the fabric. No inks, dyes or paints are used — just the colors from the plants themselves.

Some of the scarves are 100% silk crepe de chine and others are a luscious silk/wool blend that’s a little warmer. They’re 66 inches long — a nice length for draping and wrapping — and hand hemmed.

I only have nine scarves available, so don’t wait! Shop the scarf collection now!

Buttercup Yellow

By on November 24, 2013 in latex, new

This is a new painting that I just finished for a client, 40 x 30 inches. She gave me the buttercup yellow paint, and my inspiration for the rest of the color scheme was Sally Trude’s recent Trip Around the World quilt. Did I get that attribution right, Sally?

Sally’s colors are brighter, because I’m working with leftover house paint, and whatever colors I can find. But you might see the similarities.

Ecoprints on Website

By on November 11, 2013 in ecoprint

I have a new Ecoprints page on my website that makes it easier to see the available work. They look incredibly beautiful all together on one page, and amazing when you zoom in on each one.

I also reworked my entire website, and you might want to look around a bit while you’re there. What do you think? How does it look?

Here are a few pictures from the artist studio tour this morning. It was a lot of fun, and I always enjoying doing a painting demonstration using leftover house paint. I’ll post pictures of the paintings that we did when they’re dry.

Inspired by Bubble Wrap

By on September 29, 2013 in latex, new

I haven’t had a chance to work in my studio lately, because I’ve been preparing for workshops and other upcoming events. But it was so pretty out today that I decided to paint, and the bubble wrap was calling to me. Here’s a piece that I thought turned out nice. Not sure if it’s done yet. What do you think?

“Cans to Canvas” Video

By on September 26, 2013 in videos, workshops

I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the wonderful paintings created at the “Cans to Canvas” workshop last Saturday at the Santa Monica Airport Open House. 300 children and adults came to paint with us, and I put together a short video about the “Cans to Canvas” events. We used up a lot of leftover house paint, and everyone had a great time.

This video looks especially good in high definition on Vimeo, if you have the bandwidth.
