LorraineRoy
Textile Artist
My wall hangings highlight the kindredness of nature and humanity. All my youth I lived for summer, wandering the countryside,fascinated by plants and wildlife in all their diversity. My strong interest in both the visual arts and the sciences lead to a B.Sc. in Horticulture. And eventually, my early fascination with fabric techniques evolved into a full time art profession, noted for a painterly approach to textiles and threads.
In the past few years, the form, symbolism and mythology of trees have been of particular interest. More recently, collaborations with my photographer husband have resulted in more abstract works. My work has been exhibited widely in Canada, the US and abroad and is part of numerous public and private collections. |
