Vivien Pollack
I was first introduced to the art of silk painting over fifteen years ago as a professional textile designer, and I absolutely loved the medium. I now do my own silk paintings, which have been exhibited in many galleries, museums, and shows. My work is also in the book, The Best of Silk Painting, by Tuckman and Janas. I also paint scarves, sarongs, and ties.
I teach silk painting at the Long Island Art League in Huntington, NY and I always recommend Dharma Trading to my students as a great place to buy supplies. I prefer to use tinfix, jacquard, or dupont steam set dyes. Color is an important part of my work, so the strong intensity of the dyes is a great asset. I love the pebeo water-based gutta pens; they are so easy to use. I also use many of your gutta products.
My silk painting "Table Set for One" won honorable mention at the Hecksher Museum in Huntington. The New York Times said, "Among the notable two-dimensional works is Vivien Pollack's 'Table Set for One,' in which everything is slightly askew without being awkward or clumsy." I also will be having a solo show of my work in December 2007 at the Alfred Van Loen Gallery at the South Huntington Library.
