There was no canvas, no paper, no oils, watercolors or acrylics.
What there was was silk, dye, and a lot of talent.
Wilton Library opened its latest show with a reception on Friday evening, Sept. 6. It is unlike any recent exhibition in that every piece of art is painted on silk — raw silk, crepe de chine, chiffon, crepe georgette, charmeuse, and shantung.
The exhibition features the work of members of the New York metro chapter of Silk Painters International. Sixty-one pieces represent the work of Gloria Lanza-Bajo, Lydia Bang, PJ Cobbs, Christine Cusmano, Jim Cusmano, Calice Fyffe, Susan Grant, Ronda Lanzi, Linda Parker, Suzanne Punch, Sissi Siska and Johanna Tiemann.
