The new Weeping Orchid Collection was inspired by the time I spent in Miami Florida. I was immersed in a tropical beauty that was so vibrant in color, texture and scent. I came across the most interesting and unusual plants at the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden and my favorite time to visit was just after an afternoon rain. I used watercolor as my medium to emulated this streaming water effect on the fabric.
Linen is the fabric I have chosen to print on, in both a natural and refined state. The Linen in its Natural color and weave has a coarse texture, while the Linen Cotton blend has a matte, satin-like weave and possesses very subtle vertical striae, mimicking the stripes of the streaming droplets.
