Van Gogh's Fan
73" x 33" - © 2003 - $1,455.00
Van Gogh’s Painting of “The Starry Night” inspired
me to create this piece, since his swirling brush strokes look like
strips of fabric to me. The piece is developed from fabric I dyed
myself. The image is a photograph that I took on the Going-to-the-Sun
Road, one of the most picturesque drives I’ve ever been on.
Wild Places I Have Known
14" x 16" - © 2004 - $440.00
Inspired by a photograph taken by Keith Logan, this
piece is about our parklands and the simple beauty found in them. The
photos inside are from National Parks, and show off their wild, untamed
beauty. The piece is machine-stitched over many threads laid down as a
background.
Reflections
28" x 40.5" - © 2003 - $794.00
This piece was inspired by a photograph taken by my
daughter-in-law, when she was hiking in the Rocky Mountains. I love the
interplay between reality and reflections in the water in the
foreground. I hand-painted and dyed all the fabrics in this piece,
layering the water so that some of the reflections are very subtle.
Roots
5.5" x 4" - © 2003 - $145.00
This layered construction was inspired by a
photograph taken by Courtney Milne, of some tangled roots coming out
from a cliff. The piece itself is made with a bottom layer of upholstery
fabric with handmade silk paper, then a layer of stitched burlap over
that, and topped with machine-stitched painted linen.
