Apparel Artistry

Apparel Artistry is just that - part clothing line, part wearable art. Each piece is made and adorned by hand, melding techniques from painting, screen printing and jewelry making. Even my basic tees are printed using techniques that allow each one to become an original, the colors flowing and blending a little bit differently with each pass of the squeegee. My one-a-kind shirts and dresses each adjust to fit any woman, from a size two to a size twenty-two, showing off her curves ...

The third line features bamboo tiles I've repurposed from placemat...
