ABOUT alice
I am a fabric artist working primarily in felt and, more recently, eco-printing on silk. I create wearable abstract landscapes in the form of shirts, blouses, coats, hats, throws, scarves, and other garments, as well as hangings, sculpture, and functional art. Fabrics provide infinite possibilities for expression. There is incredible potential for an endless range of effects and patterns.
Gardening is a great love of mine, and I am inspired by the garden and more broadly by nature in my designs and colour palettes. I also love playing with design, including shapes and textures, and repetitive motifs. And maybe most of all, I love playing with colour. I think that all these factors are strongly evident in my work.
My work has been displayed in both solo and group exhibitions internationally and locally. I live in Vancouver where I work from my home studio.
