The white fabric - finest silks, silk velvet, Irish linen - is dyed in several dye baths to get the right color, using the finest European silk dyes.
I then print the motif with wood blocks that I cut out according to my design and drawings. The velvet is printed with metal powders - gold, silver, copper, bronze. The silk and linen is printed with textile inks. I enjoy mixing old world techniques with ongoing self taught explorations.
Each piece is one of a kind, handmade by myself each step of the creative process and signed with a seal.
All my materials are eco friendly.
I draw my inspiration from nature, mythology and the various cultures where I have lived and worked: From traditional art and Zen studies in Japan, onto France and Italy with it´s renaissance culture, and now Colorado, with it´s powerful wilderness and spiritual silence.
My work is included in private, corporate and museum collections in Europe and USA.
I love co creating, please contact me with your ideas of color and form, and we create something beautiful just for you!
You may have a vague idea or a clear idea. You email me or call me.We can send drawings, sketches, color swatches back and forth.
I tune in to what you have in mind and the project takes shape!
