Water Series

Portfolios

 

My love of water seems to make an appearance in many of my art quilts.  In these pieces, I explored the wave form and splashing of water.



Splash 1

Splashing and swirling brushwork with soy wax create a resist on hand-dyed silk charmeuse.  The resisted areas are painted and machine quilted to accentuate wave- like motion. – 2010

Splash 2

In Splash #2, I used part of a fractal design, and rearranged it in different sizes and orientations.  I hand-dyed all the fabrics (100% cotton), fused them according to my design, and then machine quilted the pieces using multi-colored threads. The free-motion quilting lines are all designed to highlight and accentuate the overall movement of  the wave forms.  This art piece is all about the excitement of high color and motion. - 2010

Dolphins Rising

This art quilt began as a dream I had.  I dreamed the colors and the  diagonal design. So I dyed the blue fabric and assembled it.  But when it was done, somehow it didn’t work.   I cut it up and rearranged the strips to create more variety.  Then I added lots of free motion quilting creating  more movement and color.-2011
