Today, I want to feature the work of fiber artist, Betty Busby. Her art pieces are composed of a fabric strata of multiple dyes and dye methods; multiple discharge and discharge methods; painted stencils, quilted with thread and sometimes further enhanced with beads and other adornments; to produce intensely detailed and emotionally layered works. She has won muliptle awards, most recently winning "Best in the United States" at the World Quilt Competition, 2008.
More of her art can be found at her website here and her Flickr photo stream here. If you're able, you can purchase her work on her Etsy site, or at Gallery 101 in Collinsville, Connecticut, who represent her. I encourage you to explore her work any way you can; you'll be inspired and invigorated by the work of this prolific artist.

Isn't her work brilliant! Her use of color and light create a magical world from things all around us.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, inspirational works.
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel like I have been standing still. Just incredible the details and color.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful aren't they? I don't think I've heard of her before so try and remember to go and take a look at her site. Ernest Haeckel's "Art Forms of the Ocean" was one of my Christmas presents - you've got me thinking now (as if I don't have enough to do)!! x
