I used to teach High School Art. Then I had by beautiful baby boys, Oscar and Solomon. While staying at home with them, I listed my first item on Etsy.
I was hooked....
I started with listing my paintings and then discovered a way to bring art into the everyday by having it digitally printed onto eco friendly fabrics using water based inks.
again, I was hooked...
I now have a line of solid colour bamboo accessories and my "Frame it or Wear it" collection featuring my art prints. All fabric designs and patterns are created by me myself and I in my aqua blue studio in my home in Whistler, Canada. My textile designs are printed in Canada and whenever possible, printed on base fabrics that were woven in Canada. This is very rare as most fabrics are milled overseas now. I work closely with a small sewing studio in Vancouver. Over the years I have become friends with the owners of this business and I very much enjoy working with them. Partnering allows me to spend my time painting, designing, managing my shop, packaging, shipping and doing the zillion other things I love to do to keep my little business running.
I sell my paintings in my sister shop HutArtandDecor on etsy and also through White Dog Gallery in Whistler.
H Art and Fashion is all about bringing locally made, unique fashion, made of eco friendly fabrics to women who want something different. You can have piles of cheaply made clothing, but it's really exciting to wear a piece with a story.
