Artwork Description

Fabric art based on quilting, my inspiration is an artist called Bisa Butler, who creates life size fabric art of historical figures. The fidelity is not as high as paint as there is a limit to how small a piece of cloth can be cut. The colours can also be a problem since not all colours are available and shading is very difficult.

The images are created using patterned material and a combination of coloured fabrics. The pieces are glued onto a canvas or in this case a linen sheet. There is a signature but it's under the masking board.

Artist Bio

Computer programmer for years, and love the creative process in coding software. However no one gets to see this creative process so have gone back to art. The last few years I have been looking for the best medium for me, and I think I have settled on 2 so far. I originally started with sketching and do like to sketch with graphite pencil. I've now also included Textile Art/Fabric Art. My inspiration is Bisa Butler, who creates life size pieces using American Black History. My calling is pop culture and comic book references. I've scoured a few 1960's Romance Comic Books as reference as well as using some of my own photographs of animals and things around me..
