welcome!

Welcome to my little studio. I am excited to share what is going on in my art practice, one project or thought at a time. I paint to tell my story. It is a story of gratitude for the people in my life. For the creativity in all of us, manifested in so many ways. For the love, and for the beauty in the work of the first and greatest artist.

the first layers

Once I was happy with the sketch,
I applied some diluted fabric dye with craft sponge brushes.


I let the dye dry,
then painted molten wax over the areas of colour that I wanted to preserve.
The next step was to dip the fabric into a light tan dye bath.


And now it is hanging to dry.
