CHIC Art Fusion is …
Lexington’s hottest new “Experience!” What is Water Marbling? This artistic process involves floating thinned paints on a thickened water surface. Your design is created organically with the paints. You then have the option, with various tools, to swirl and manipulate the design. It is then “printed” on silk or leather by "lifting" it off. You have to see it to believe it!
I started painting in 2020. I've enjoyed many styles of art such as charcoal, acrylic and chalk pastels.
I launched CHIC Art Fusion early February 2024 to share the technique of floating paints on the surface of water to create intricate, swirling designs that reflect both control and chaos. Each piece created is unique and impossible to replicate. It's like a moment in time "captured."
My medium of choice is various types of wood, Italian leather, Charmeuse and Habotai Silk.
Classes taught in Lexington, KY
100% Habotai Silk- The word ‘habotai’ itself means ‘soft as feathers’ in Japanese, highlighting the fabric’s delicate and lightweight nature. The natural protein structure of silk allows it to regulate temperature, has moisture-wicking properties, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Silk is hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Silk becomes softer the more it’s washed (No Dry-cleaning, handwash ONLY) With proper care, silk will remain beautiful and luxurious for a lifetime.
100% Leather- The majority of our Leather is responsibly sourced from UK suppliers, from Italy or Belgium, as a by-product of the European beef industry. Vegetable tanned leather is preserved with organic botanical extracts. This process is slower, kinder means of production that has less impact on the environment. The results are a stronger leather where the fibers of original skin are preserved.
