HAND PAINTED
ONE-OF-A KIND PIECE

I CHOSE NATURAL SILK ORGANZA FOR THIS SHAWL AS A SYMBOLIC FABRIC, OFTEN USED FOR RITUAL MOMENTS IN LIFE: CHRISTENINGS, FIRST COMMUNION DRESSES, AND WEDDING GOWNS.
I LIKE ITS STIFFNESS AND TRANSPARENCY, WHICH I’VE ACCENTUATED BY USING A WET-ON-WET METHOD AND TONES THAT SUGGEST NATURAL ELEMENTS: WATER, FIRE, EARTH, AIR. IT’S THE PERFECT PIECE FOR A SPECIAL EVENT OR CEREMONY, BUT CAN ALSO BE USED AS A SILK WALL HANGING.
