The ancient art of silk painting comes alive when I put brush to the silk or explore the many methods of adding color and design to natural fibers. The unique art of eco-printing or botanical printing with leaves and flowers on silk brings mother nature’s actual colors and designs to my palette. It is an art form I learned decades ago while a college printmaker. The uniqueness of ecoprinting is that the designs that I achieve that day are directly from Mother Nature. They are what She released to me that day from the plant material that I used!

Visit my Blog page to follow along with how I create my art.

Like a portrait, each silk piece is unique and one of a kind. Each undergoes its own transformation in a one to 3 day process. Some pieces have random abstract designs created with the colors. Other are created from my own drawings and designs and that I carve by hand from blocks of wood and linoleum. None of my block printed designs can be found anywhere else.

My silk art ranges from hand-dyed designs on exquisite silk scarves, shawls, garments and accessories to eco-printed silk pieces that are created from Mother Nature’s colors! Match scarves  and beautiful ponchos with my hand crafted hand bags and silk jewelry. You’ll find beautiful fiber art in my Shop. Those listings represent the most up to date silk pieces available.  For immediacy, follow my Facebook page as I am daily posting and chatting on what I am doing, and you can see the new pieces that have yet to make it to my shop!

Custom designed silk scarves in many sizes as well as silk ties, sun catchers and my popular eco-printed scarves are available on request. All of my silk art is designed and created by me on my mini-farm in my beautiful North Carolina studio. I do not use any  digitally printed designs on my silk. Contact me with any questions and requests!
