Silk-under-Glass Art
I
created my proprietary Silk-under-Glass technique to transform my
original photographs and silk paintings into luminous art. To begin the
process, you'll find me outdoors capturing the wondrous beauty of
nature with my camera. I carefully select the best images, design each
piece or multi-piece grouping, and then translate the final designs
into images using dye on silk. Last, the silk image is joined with the
clarity and curvature of the glass, to create a new art form. Each
piece is durable, hand-washable and easy to care for. Displayed singly
or in groupings, on a wall, shelf or tabletop Silk-under-Glass art
enhances the aesthetics of any setting and makes the perfect gift for
all occasions.
My Silk-under-Glass process is my own
invention, born of a desire to let light flow through my images,
producing a translucent effect and bringing the details of the image to
life. This enables you to view the image from the front as well as the
back of the glass. My goal as an artist is to create art that is
beautiful, as well as functional. I find sanctuary and inspiration
through the entire process from photographing nature to hand painting
dyes on silk to putting finishes touches on each piece in my studio. I
would like to share this same joy with you.
Silk-under-Glass Use & Display
Wall Art:
For
wall art with a dramatic, visual impact select a triptych (20”x36” or
20”x 44”) or a larger, multi-piece grouping. There are many variations
that can be grouped together to create a unique artistic statement.
Contact me to discuss a custom-designed grouping just for you.
Giftables/Tabletop:
Designs
are available in rectangles, squares and ovals, ranging in size from 6”
to 20”. The smaller and mid-size pieces work nicely as jewelry trays,
letter holders, perfume trays, and fine art. Being food-safe and
hand-washable, my Silk-under-Glass trays also make wonderful serving
pieces, a truly versatile object of art. Smaller pieces are perfect for
more intimate settings resting on a tabletop, desk or nightstand.
Stacking three, square plates forms a lovely piece of sculptural art.
Silk-under-Glass trays may also be displayed upright with our
adjustable easels to optimize viewing from different vantage points,
creating a stunning fine art piece. They look great in an entry, on a mantle or on a sidebar in a dining room.
