About The Author

I create paintings using silk as my canvas and liquid dyes as my paint. It was love at first brushstroke for me. When I first touched my dye-filled brush to a piece of white silk and watched liquid color spread across the surface, I knew that now I had found the magic...   Email me!

    Congratulations, Deborah! Do you usually frame silk under glass? (I can’t remember if I have asked you this before) Hopefully your piece will sell, small works are so marketable.

      THanks Robin! No I don’t use glass. I mount my painted silk on stretched canvas and either use a UV + stain-blocker spray or a painted-on acrylic medium for protection.

        Yes, congratulations, Deborah! it’s a very pretty landscape. I really do wish I was close enough to see your work in person. Do you glue the silk onto the canvas with the matte medium? Or do you just paint the medium on top once it’s wrapped around the canvas?

          Thank you Imzadi. The medium acts as an adhesive, so I lay my painted silk on top of the canvas and paint the medium through it. When it dries the silk will be adhered to the canvas. If I’m not using medium, I just staple the silk to the back of the canvas and then spray with a non-adhesive UV-blocking spray
