Red Roses float on a maroon and gold background. Painted by hand on silk chiffon, an elegant, sheer fiber with a soft beautiful drape and a crepe-like texture.
Each scarf is hand painted. Since they are handmade, each is unique with small differences. The hems are hand sewn and the thread can sometimes be seen. This handmade quality is one of the highlights of the scarves and adds to the unique nature of each scarf.
A classically trained artist, I studied art at Rhode Island School of Design and Maryland Institute College of Art. After painting for years in oil on canvas I have recently discovered the joy of painting beautiful images on silk. Each image is inspired by the beauty of the natural world. I paint all 2024 of my scarves in my kitchen in my upstate New York house. The silk is from China.
I use the finest silk Habotai with hand rolled and sewn hems. All paints have been heat set. Hand wash, hang to dry, and iron if necessary with an iron set to the silk setting.
