Wearable art created from luxurious silk-velvet. Nature-inspired designs made in to devoré (burnout) velvet and then hand-painted with dyes that flow and blend within the fabric. The organic patterns are evolving or accidental and frozen in time. The rich, shimmering colors create moods and their combinations tell a story. I want to add a small amount of positivity to the world with peaceful images of nature, lovingly rendered in vivid hues within soft fabric that comforts and adorns the wearer.
