Wearable Art
A few years ago I set out to make a painting as a symbol of my essence. While I was painting I imagined myself wearing my art and I was suddenly inspired with the idea of making my painting into a dress. I began researching how I could transform my original artwork onto fabric. My vision was to re-create the complete painting onto fabric for a unique style that represented my art.
After much research and testing, I designed and created my signature Rose Dress from my original art.
My boutique clothing line was first launched in 2013. Creating my art as fashion became a new form of creative expression and another way to bring art and beauty to people’s lives.
Each piece is custom designed, then digitally produced and transferred onto fabric where it is hand cut and sewn. All products are made in Canada with natural and eco-conscious materials.
The Original Rose Dress
I made a little video documenting the journey from painting to finished product... Fine Art into Wearable Art. It's a slow process (so I speeded it up for this two minute video!).
We had a fashion parade (and a bit of fun!) at the North Shore Art Crawl. I call it Gudrun Vibrations...
