About this item
Soft, muted tones capture the feeling of a warm, overcast day in the mountain lake region. The composition suggests the quiet choice between a hike or time spent on the water, offering a calm landscape with gentle atmospheric depth.
Painted on 100% silk habotai with permanent textile dyes, the artwork measures 8 x 14 inches. It can be framed in grey, wood, or black, and like all silk pieces, it is best displayed out of direct sunlight to preserve color over time.
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.
This item is a one‑of‑a‑kind art piece, and sale of this item is final.
