For me, creating is a transformative process and deeply healing.
I design and create with the hope my artwork will uplift your spirits and bring a little more beauty to the world.
I am inspired by nature, by colors and textures, by patterns and people from around the world and beyond.
I begin with solid white fabric. Once the brush touches the fabric it is as if something else takes over. I enter that timeless place where everything stands still and anything is possible.
Each piece is imbued with the energy of healing and wholeness in all her forms: inner peace, love, joy, authenticity, true self worth, compassion and more.

5 out of 5 starsSuch a beautiful hand-painted scarf for my beautiful wife's birthday!
(I didn't unfold the scarf for the photo because it went back into the very nice transparent bag that Kris provided.) -

5 out of 5 starsI bought this scarf to complement a deep brown cashmere sweater, and it is even more beautiful in person than in the photo. I have several of Kris's hand-painted scarves and love each of them. She has an eye for color that amazes me, and the designs are magical. Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsI asked Kris to send this scarf as a birtthday present to a friend. Kris did it quickly, it arrived on time, and my friend loves it. I didn't see this particular scarf in person. But I have other exquisite scarves from Kris, so I didn't hesitate to send it, sight unseen, to a dear friend. Thank you, Kris!

5 out of 5 starsI put this one in a bowl in my family room. It adds color and a special energy. It invites one to stop and touch it - which is the idea!

5 out of 5 starsI have owned Kris' scarves for several years and give them as gifts to friends and family. I recently created a home office space that has become my sanctuary. I wanted to add warmth and color and thought of the scarves. It is hard to explain how the colors, fabric and the spirit they evoke touch one's heart and inspire creativity. I have them displayed above my desk where I can enjoy them on a daily basis and wear them when I want to bring that feeling with me.

Each silk scarf begins white and gets attached to a wooden frame, then the silk painting begins.
-
Silk on Frame in process with dyes - ready to paint
-
Silk wrapped up in paper, ready to start steaming process which bonds the molecules of the color to the fabric.
-
Unwrapping the Silk after Steaming Process is complete - The colors really pop! Next silk needs to day, then wash & iron

Kris Thoeni Designs - Wearable Art - One of a Kind Hand Painted Silk Scarves, Wraps, and Shawls
For me, creating is a healing process. Creating inspires and uplifts me. It makes me feel alive and brings me a sense of inner peace.
I've always loved color and patterns, shapes and texture, design and the ever changing beauty of Nature. I've always been fascinated by faces, by people, by other cultures ~ the colors, textures, and stories of the world. All these things and more influence my creative expression.
After a serious car accident in 1988 I was unable to return to my corporate work. My healing journey took me inward reclaiming my intuition and creativity. I truly believe the creative process was instrumental in my healing and I'm happy to have this opportunity to share that with you.
When I paint, I quiet my mind the best I can and I listen to what is calling to me: a feeling, a shape, a color. Once the brush touches the fabric it is as if something else takes over and the images come through me rather than from me. My intention is to create pieces that uplift our hearts and bring healing energy and a little more peace to the world.
Each silk scarf is hand painted one of a kind. Sometimes I paint in themes - themes of color, shapes, feelings - yet no two silks will ever be exactly the same.
I've been selling my artwork for nearly 25 years, as well as teaching intuition and creative expression workshops and retreat for individuals, groups, and corporations exploring the healing power of art.
Thank you for visiting my ETSY store. Please feel free to convo me with any questions - I look forward to hearing from you.

Shop policies
I design and create my artwork with the hope that it will uplift your spirit, bring a bit of beauty to our world, and will reconnect us all with a deeper sense of inner peace.
My art expresses my love of nature, of symbols and cycles, patterns and colors, archetypes and people from around the world and beyond.
As I work, my intention is to imbue each piece I make with the healing power of color and creativity.
Longing to heal the Myth of Separation, I play with my art as a tool for transformation:
a vehicle to reveal truth and to connect me deeply to my heart.
May you find a beautiful silk that speaks to your heart and soul, makes you feel alive, and is just plain fun to wear.
I paint all my scarves one at a time in a smoke free environment. I do have cats in the home ~ who inspire me with their unconditional love ~ but they are not involved in the painting process.
Enjoy,
Kris
