About Me:
I discovered the fun of splashing dye on silk about a year ago and haven't looked back. My main focus is painting silk wraps 22x90 and selling them both privately and on etsy. If you're not familiar with etsy check it out. www.etsy.com It's a worldwide marketplace for all things handmade and vintage. My latest venture has been mounting my silk on canvas with matte medium.
I think that the fact, that happy accidents happen time to time is one of the most interesting and enjoyable things in silkpainting! An artist can take the best of those accidents, like you can ; ))
Hi ... can you give me some details on the mount and varnish technique ... i usually just stretch it over a canvas and frame under glass but would like to have more options. thanks chris

I have just looked at your wrap on etsy and it is absolutely AMAZING! All those wild cats on the same wrap - I can imagine it taking sooooo long to paint. It is incredible! Yes the eyes are especially wonderful and so expressive. I am a friend of Karen Sistek and she is always mentioning you and your wonderful work. She says you are selling it for way too little and I agree as your pieces are so special and you have put so much time and love into them!
