I began painting about 20 years ago. At that time I was painting murals on walls, slates, birdhouses, glasses, driftwood, basically if you could paint on it, I would! I am a self taught artist. I spend many hours reading and researching different techniques. I'm willing to try just about anything.
But painting on silk is my favorite. To me this is just like therapy. There's something about watching the dye come alive as you put the paint brush to the silk. It flow like the ocean, taking on a life of it's own. You know how you can sit watching the waves come and go at the beach, this has the same affect of your soul. It's a powerful tool for mindfullness.
