Clara Graves
Silk Painting/Collages
Clara Graves is a painter and mixed media artist whose work has been widely exhibited throughout North America. Trained as a graphic designer, she has focused on fabric arts including painting on silk and the creation of fabric collages.
Her work includes vibrant floral painting and evocative abstract images that resonate freedom, surprise and serenity. Clara balances her silk painting with explorations in collage, and for some pieces, she has combined painted silk with found objects, free-motion quilting and reverse appliqué.
