Working with Canadian International Artist forum

This was a wonderful opportunity to work on a hands on program where I was creating samples of my work on silk to the public.

This allowed me to show how these designs were produced and an insight to the details it took to

elaborate on simple designs where members of the public could look and learn how the process was done.

coming into silk

This is a picture taken with me while I was busy setting up the paints for an interesting program called "Five Yards of My Soul", an Interactive On-site Textile Art Show, curated by Asma and Arshad Mahmood featuring Susan Anderson.

It was great to work in a large space again. The project was to create a beautiful saari and that ... it was.

Two tapestries at The Delta Hotel in downtown Toronto.

This was a great opportunity two illustrations I created that I was able to translate into a tapestry.

The one called The Wave is a great exercise using a blend of blue yarns that create a great transition from light blue to dark giving an effect the sea wave does when it recedes back from the sand.

These two works of art are currently hanging at the Delta Hotel in downtown Toronto in the business section of the hotel.

Arabic corners

This corner design was very interesting highlight for a beautiful detail that made a difference for a simple area rug.
Here we used it as a prop for a "Technics" advertisement.

The pathway

This is one of the most fun I had working with designing a rug.

Here we were left with just very few letf over yarns and well, we wont say his name...he gets upset when you put it out publically.... was very clear he was not willing to throw it out. So, here we were left with limited resources and had to come up with an abstract design that could of course be used as a eye catcher.
I think we did a good job on that one. We were very lucky to have had the opportunity to place this with beautiful furniture.

Going with the grain

This was an incredible opening to a simple solution for an area rug. Here the idea was to use the same wood grain and continue it into the rug. My client had very simple furniture setting but this arrived up as the Front cover of a national trade magazine and that sure made my client very happy.

Southern Shores was the name of this piece . The size of this piece was 6'x4' enough to make any furniture stand out. The colours used are very vibrant and tropical creating a very whimsical effect.
