My name is Sharon Strang and I am from Mobile, Alabama. I started Painting on silk about 5 years ago after being given a silk painting kit . Since then, I have used many Dharma book to teach myself, such as Susan Louise Moyer's Silk Painting books and Elfriede Moller's shibori book. I paint on habotai silk scarves and use largehandkerchiefs for paintings. I use Jacquard and Marabu water-based metallic resists, Setacolor and Setasilk paints. I love the surprise of shibori and the "how does it do that?" of the Alter-Ego dyes on the devore silk scarves .

I look forward each month to the Dharma newsletter and the featured artists . Being a Gulf Coast artist, my love of the beach and water is reflected in my silks . My artwork is on display at a local gallery and has been featured in the newspaper.
