a bit about us

Carolyn's wearables are acquired internationally and have been exhibited at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens and the Tennessee State Museum.

"A lifelong love of fabrics began as a child  sewing with my Grandmother and Mother.  I  use ancient Oriental techniques of shibori, involving wrapping, stitching, and pleating silk and other fine fabric, and hand dying them in carefully chosen palate combinations.  Certain fiber pieces are embellished with block printing and dye removal patterning.

My jewelry line is produced with personally tooled metals, integrating semi-precious stones with selected artifacts and hand crafted beads.

Living in the southwest has a significant impact on my line of wearables. The gentle, subtle colors of the landscape and open turquoise sky of New Mexico inspire my work.  People who wear my designs will appreciate the relationship with nature incorporated in each piece."

David's paintings are exhibited in galleries in Tennessee, California, and New Mexico. His works are collected 
privately and public corporations and institutions. The Brooks Museum of Art, the Dixon Gallery and Gardens, Dyersburg State, and the University of West Georgia have included his work in exhibitions and benefit events.

"Random patterns seldomly are.  An accumulation of little things can produce an exacting measure of ordinary and unusual that is precious, however only a reflection of the divine, and thus illusory.  It is only through pure, genuine, unrepeating chaos that the spiritual makes itself known.  Even then, we can't directly sense it, but only indirectly
know that it's presence exists."
