Harriet Howell, Hand Painted Sil

Harriet Howell’s painting, whether on paper or silk, uses color and movement to capture the emotional content of nature. “I’ve always loved fabrics and used to make all of my own clothes.  Painting scarves allows me to play with color and natural shapes and then turn the art into something wearable.  What fun!” Starting with a stretched silk scarf, Harriet uses brushes to apply successive layers of fabric dyes.  Sometimes a resist is used or a hand-cut stencil.  Sometimes the dye is applied wet-in-wet.  Almost all images are based on elements found in nature.  Finished scarves are then steam set, washed, ironed, and sewn.

We are back to regular schedule of our first Friday Reception for our Featured Artists.
