Inspiration

Carkeek Park in Winter

Carkeek Park in Winter

It may be cliched for artists to say they’re inspired by nature, but really, what else affects us in such a global, yet personal, way? In Seattle the winters are gray, with glimmers of sunshine now and then shooting rays of golden angled light which gild edges and bring detail into sharp focus. The work for my upcoming show, Earth and Sky, was inspired by walks on our Northwest beaches from the broad contours of the landscapes to the whorl patterns of driftwood.

Workshop: Textiles – The Printed Surface

course fee: $260

Using fabric as a canvas and thickened dye as a medium, you will make marks with tools from stamps to silkscreens. You will explore the unique qualities of the silkscreen, its abilities to reproduce multiple images without using photo emulsion processes. You will create textured and layered art cloth which can be used in collage, print, art-to-wear, and quilting.
