I am delighted to announce my acceptance into the first ALL SILK art show in Montana. How wonderful to Get to connect with many other silk artists and "hang" with them at the
SILK PAINTERS GUILD SALON in MISSOULA,MT.
I have taken this opportunity to introduce my latest innovation
"THE BREEZER"
The "BREEZER" allows us to display my paintings as matted and framed appearing Fine Art~
then next moment
~transforming ~
into luxurious wearable accessories to enhance our style for all occasions.
Gratitude, Passion, and Joy!
Silk painting opens the door to my soul to express and share a bit of myself. I live in Bozeman, Montana where I have organized the summer Plein Air program for SMArts (Southwest Montana Artists) for the last 4 years. Painting out in nature, I find inspiration magnified through the sounds, sights, and fragrances, carried on the breezes and changing light. Working in these narrow venues: 11" X 60" & 14" X 72" facilitates expressing "A Slice OF Life". I like to tell stories with colors and shapes and feelings. These Paintings are designed to be displayed as fine art and then to be wrapped gently around you to whisper their secrets as they enhance your dressing style.
Sharing this art form with others through workshops doubles it's blessings. Silk is sensual and generous. I am honored to experience the amazement of "non artists" as they find themselves creating their very own masterpieces! A Gift!!

“A DAY IN THE PARK”
14”X72” Handpainted Habotai Silk PLEIN AIR CATCHING BREEZES There is something so very nurturing and peaceful in spending a spring day in the park Nature and families, dogs and creeks. The wind in the trees, and smells of the earth and water. Time simply passes~ as it does, and the water flows down stream warmed by the south sun. ~FEEL IT & ENJOY!~ |
“CHIEF AND HARLEY”
11”X 60” 100% Handpainted Habotai Silk PLEIN AIR by CATCHING BREEZES Harley, a young filly with her friend~18 year old Chief, a blind and gentle being. During the day he is free to graze and wander. When it’s time to head back to the barn, he is challenged to find the gate opening. Harley made an immediate heart connection with him from her birth 5 months ago, and through her “horse sense” knows that Chief needs assistance and leads him safely home On location on Horse Butte, Mt. We were so blessed by a day of rain that cleared the skies allowing us to see the mountains and glorious colors after a month of fires and smoke. ~Feel the love!~ |
