Biography:
With an art background, I came to the United States from South America, 35
years ago. I began experimenting with various forms of art. Then, twenty years
ago, I discovered Silk Painting and it immediately became my passion.
Mainly, I design and create jackets, wraps, scarves and flowing wearables.
Starting with white silk stretched tightly on a frame, I hand paint each piece by
using a combination of different methods. Batik, watercolor, resist, salt, alcohol,
shibori, are some of the techniques I use. After the silk is dry and the color has
been steam-set for four hours, I design and sketch the style, and my
dressmaker sews it under my directions and specifications.
I am very excited with the Hand Painted Velvet addition to my line. It is so
luscious and the colors look so wonderful, very elegant and beautiful. Mainly
watercolor, clamp resist, (a form of shibori) dye manipulation, over-painting
and discharge methods are used for the Silk Velvet pieces.
