Natural Dye Extracts



Going back to my roots a bit lately......making various natural dye extracts to use for some painting ideas in the works. I have had more time in my studio lately with our shelter in place guidelines for WA. state. I have been looking ahead and excited to create some pieces for an eventual group staff show at Cornish College of the Arts. We finished our new gallery and it inspires me to change up my work. In light of the recent pandemic......this process is an appropriate meditation practice as I figure our new painting ideas.
