Works On Silk

Welcome to Works on Silk
 

Michelle Sottile

has been creating beautiful wearable art for over 20 years. 

All her work is hand-painted on silk. Each piece of her silk art is meticulously designed to be one-of-a-kind. The colors, designs, and textures are inspired by Nature and the seasons.

When creating her color palette and patterns, she intentionally uses colors that will blend together to create her unique hand-painted art to wear.
 Artist statement:

  "Painting on silk is a form of art with endless possibilities. While I have experimented with many different art forms, I have found a style of expression that truly frees my soul and allows me to create luxurious and bold one-of-a-kind pieces.
"The way the colors blend and move while I am painting is mesmerizing.  Silk Painting is like stirring chocolate pudding over a warm stove: rich, smooth and delicious.

"I am a native Californian currently residing in Marin County.  My art is inspired by my natural surroundings. Colors and designs are often presented to me in a dream, on a hike, or even driving on Highway 101 at dusk.  By using a varied palette my work is eye-catching and will add an exciting element to your style."
