Featured Artist : Sally Spencer DalgarnoSpencer Styles

I started marbling in 2005 after "studying" your website and the "how to's" you have on marbling. Your website and catalog are invaluable for being able to look for things and what to buy. Since then, I've started my own cottage industry, Spencer Styles, and now sell to museum stores and gift shops around the country. Dharma, thank you for being you! I couldn't have gotten started without you.

About Spencer Styles:

Spencer Styles is a wearable art design group, specializing in hand-marbled scarves  and accessories, as well as computer generated art designs for clothing and home furnishings that are signed by the artist. Spencer Styles aims to create wearable art for all to enjoy as accent clothing or home decor. Hand-marbled items are marbled with acrylic paints on silk, cotton, or rayon. It is recommended to dry-clean or hand wash items when necessary.

The founder, Sally Spencer, is a member of the Mississippi State Committee for the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington D.C., the Mississippi Museums Association, and past member of the Professional Artists League of Mississippi (PALM). She began her career primarily as a children's portraitist after receiving her BFA in Art History from Southern Methodist University. Her earliest commissions include the grandchildren of some of Mississippi's most prominent state senators. In the 1980s, Sally resided in the Cayman Islands, where her love of nature and the ocean began to be transposed into her paintings depicting dramatically colorful skies and oceans. An international artist, Sally is known for her oil paintings of oceans and skies, as well as pet portraits and genre paintings. Her works are in public and private collections throughout the Caribbean, New York, London, Dublin, Bermuda, and the Southeast United States. Through her wearable art design group, Spencer Styles, now based in Port Townsend, WA, Sally creates signed, hand-marbled and computer generated art designs on fabric.
