Vendor
I hand-paint silk scarves, ponchos, jackets and more. My love of silk and silk painting began while traveling in Estonia, where I purchased my first hand-painted silk scarf from a road-side vendor. I returned home and began a self-taught journey painting silk, which has become a fabulous adventure filled with fun and lots of color!
I started my silk painting business when I was laid off of my corporate job in 2009. That life challenge got me painting on a daily basis and I started selling my work at Pass-A-Grille on Saturday mornings. The Saturday Morning Market found me at an annual art show and graciously invited me to join I have been forever grateful!!
I am so appreciative of the Saturday Morning Market family and all my kind customers who inspire me on a daily basis - thank you all so very much!
I paint in a variety of styles - most of which include using natural resources such as the sun, sea and sand to achieve desired results and heat-set them into the silk. I love color and mix my dyes from primaries with the goal of achieving the colors of nature and capturing them on a silk canvas.
