Louise Noel
Silk Paintings
Showing with #D1
Big western landscapes, whimsical creatures and the endless palette of summer flower are the inspirations for my silk paintings. Working with dyes on silk has given me the perfect way to illustrate the world as I see it. Joy and serendipity are huge forces. Absolute control is abandoned and desires are negotiated with resists and surface treatments. The end painting is forever unpredictable…often better than planned…and the process is an exciting, exasperating, joyous journey.
