Silk Scarves
Silk Shawls
My silk shawls are made from Silk Noil, the inner fibre of the cocoon. The fibres are short, which makes the scarves matt and gives them a wonderful soft, drapey feel that doesn’t slip when worn. They are warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Hi, I’m Heidi,
I’m an artist specialising in large-scale paintings and wall hangings. My paintings are about contrast: the assumed beauty of flowers set against mysterious, sometimes sinister backgrounds. Using minimal colour, I rely on the texture of brushstrokes to convey a hint of the story.
As a textile artist, I am known for my bold and innovative large-scale wall hangings, some up to 30 feet tall, which are displayed globally in art galleries, public spaces, and corporate buildings. On a more personal scale, I weave fine silk scarves that are wearable works of art, designed to bring the beauty of my art into your everyday life.
The inspiration for my art comes from the arrangement of colors and space in natural scenes. Whether woven with silk or metal wire, every piece I create is a unique and signed work of art.
“The first things you notice are the graceful lines and the riot of colour, and as you dive deeper the flower form fades away you truly get lost in the translucent folds. Heidi created a custom painting for me to fit the space above my mantel and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it transforms the space – we even bought new dining room furniture to match the painting!”
