Cecile Arndt - Creative Silk Painting

In 1996 I discovered the magical world of patchwork. I started sewing and designing quilts, exploring the exciting world of scrap patch and the endless possibilities it has to offer. This seemed to be the mostchallenging form for me, matching my practical personality of using materials that were readily available to me.

Using all types of fabrics I discovered my intense love of colour combinations; which knows no boundaries. The world of textiles opened a new door in my life, one I am constantly exploring.

After experimenting with colours I soon developed an interest in design effects  to create original and dramatic pieces. With little to no formal training I have been able to maintain my own unique style. I regularly attend workshops where  I have learned a most significant lesson, which is to be free to explore all possibilities  and most all to have fun. My work alternates around wearable art and wall hangings. In recent I have had the luxury of working with silk on a constant basis. Silk has now become a major player in my arts.
