View of 600 block of Trade Street, looking south toward 6th Street intersection.

My new space is located next to The Fiber Company,
at the intersection of 6th and Trade Streets,
in the middle of the Downtown Arts District.

I individually handpaint my own colorful, lively, original designs directly onto the garments.

I like the spontaneity of working completely freehand, without the use of patterns or stencils. Designs seem to acquire a life of their own as they emerge from the surface of the item being painted. "What if you make a mistake?" is a question I hear often. I just turn it into a happy accident--and ta-daaaaaa, it becomes whole new painting or design motif.

Each garment is a true one-of-a-kind creation; there are no two exactly alike. Most items are painted front and back.

Garments are machine washable, and may be tumble dried or line dried without affecting the painting. Chlorine bleach may be used on white items without affecting the painted design. Any initial stiffness will disappear with the use of a fabric softener sheet in the dryer.All garments are hand painted with artists' quality acrylic paints. No lead-based colors are used. Paints are mixed with varying amounts of medium and/or water according to the type of surface being painted. Careful attention to painting technique ensures that the painted design will not wash out or peel away from the garment.

And, unlike some fabric dyes, the high-quality acrylic paints that are used on these items will not fade out or run onto other items in the wash.

These unique hand painted items should be worn often!
