Lois Thomson Hand Painted Silk |
"Born and raised in rural British Columbia, Lois grew up with a strong creative spirit nurtured in BC Wilderness. She designed and sewed her own unique textile creations as far back as she can remember. Schooled as a fashion designer, Lois also experimented with oils and watercolors leading to painting on fabric. Silk became her medium in 1986. Her style is delicate, soft, and flowing. Her lines, imagery and choice of colors speak clearly of the rich, flowing subtilties and textures found in nature. Lois now combines the creation of her own fabric, into home décor items including duvets, wall hangings and lampshades as well as wearable art scarves, blouses and Kimonos. All Lois' work is hand drawn and painted using high quality imported dyes.  Many of her designs are inspired by the beautiful ocean, mountains and wildlife of British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, Canada, where she lives. Her easy-care silk creations are lightweight, luxurious, washable and color fast."
Stores on the Sunshine Coast that carry some her work include Gift of the Eagle Gallery, Gibsons, Elements, Roberts Creek, and The Flying Anvil, Pender Harbour also Oh Brothers, in Kerrisdale, Vancouver. |
