My work is about turning a painting into a piece of clothing. This concept has evolved from the desire to give every woman a print that is her own. Each print tells the story of different elements that have inspired me- some in the moment in which I painted my design, others that influence me constantly. My collections are sparked off by a series of drawings, paintings and collages; constantly experimenting with new media. These experiments are then transfered to the computer where further experimentation and manipulation takes place in digital form. In my work, one can see a combination of hand and digital painting which take life when digitally printed onto different kinds of silk. I am inspired by the way different silks absorb colour and my range includes chiffon, habotai, satin, georgette and silk crepe. A passion for colour and natural fibres is what drives this approach to scarf making.
