Item Description

This item is a rayon/bamboo-blend scarf, with airbrushed blossoms in yellow, maroon and red. It truly is a piece of wearable art! It is signed by the artist.

From the Artist:

“For many years, my dedication was to print-making: intaglio, silkscreen and lithography. I studied at Montreal Museum of Fine Art, School of Art & Design and later went on to study fine art and art education, at University. My main interest, at the time was silkscreen. Later, I returned to Ontario, where I enrolled in a course in Surface Design at OCA, in Toronto. Silkscreen printing was the technique used.

Now, I am working with natural dyes and Indigo shibori techniques. During a recent trip to India, which also included a short textile tour, I sought out textile artists, with whom I maintain contact. Following awe-inspiring trips to Thailand and India, in recent years, my theme of choice is the Lotus blossom. In Hinduism and in Buddhism, the lotus flower represents purity of body, mind, and spirit.”
