“Stormy Afternoon” — Hand‑Painted Silk Wall Hanging

This hand‑painted silk artwork captures the shifting drama of a stormy summer afternoon in Maine’s Western Mountains. The skies can change in an instant—sun one moment, clouds rolling in the next—and the piece reflects that familiar rhythm of light, weather, and movement that defines the region.

Created on 100% silk habotai with permanent textile dyes, the artwork measures 22 x 12 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.
