“A River Runs Through It” — Painting on Raw Silk

This hand‑painted silk artwork captures the quiet movement of a woodland stream as it tumbles down the mountainside. Soft shifts of color and texture bring the scene to life, offering a peaceful moment of nature that feels both grounded and refreshing.

Painted on raw silk using permanent silk paints, the piece features natural fringed edges and is mounted on a 1‑inch gallery‑wrapped canvas with acrylic medium for protection. It is safe from moisture and dust and arrives ready to hang. Finished dimensions are 12 x 12 inches.

Artist Carol Sullivan’s work is shaped by a lifetime spent around boats, coastal travel, and the shifting moods of nature, which she interprets through sea, sky, flora, and fauna. Her silk‑dye process ranges from loose and impressionistic to controlled and detailed, with constant experimentation keeping her work fresh and evolving. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, she has developed unique textile techniques—including gyotaku fish printing—and her fabric art has been featured in galleries in Maryland, Maine, and the Bahamas with an international following.
