Artist Bio / Statement

I am a self-taught artist, and I have been raising three daughters with my husband in Maine. I am working full-time as a nurse, but my passion is my art. I couldn't afford to go to college, and now I can't find the time to do so.

Karen Sistek introduced me to the fabulous medium of dyes on silk two years ago, and it was instant love. I want to do nothing else. I am a Christian woman who now only paints the Word of God -- the Bible -- starting with Genesis 1:1. I guess I have a little work to do!

I have also experimented in other mediums: pencil, oil, and watercolor. Silk painting is a challenge, and I enjoy a good challenge. I use Procion Dyes for the vibrant colors on the silks, with the water based permanent resist, using squeeze bottles with professional metal tips. I also use dye fixative during the washing of silk and the synthrapol textile detergent. I also order all my silks from Dharma Trading: the Habotai and crepe de chine, and other silks to experiment with -- exciting. You can also see some of my others works in oil and watercolor, as well as silk, on my website at http://www.bransart.com.

Thank you sooo much for letting me be one of your featured artists.

Barbara
