Fabric paintings are done on silks for more delicate items, or linens or canvas for durability, using special paints that are cured for washing. I have made t-shirts, waistcoats, ties, cravats, sweatshirts, cushions, wall hangings, bags and quilting patches. Almost anything you can imagine on fabric can be custom painted with a unique design.
In addition to commissioning or buying my fabric pieces, you can opt to study the art yourself at one of my fabric painting workshops.
