We all have work that was completed but isn't as pleasing as we had hoped for. Here's a basic fact: There's no such thing as a bad silk painting, only an unfinished one! 

 Together, we will learn multiple techniques for expanding the impact of a painting, steamed or not. Color Coordination, textures and layered imagery are among the options, as Suzanne gives you her caring view of your previous work, respecting all of your efforts, previously made. 

New Possibilities and greater creativity await.

Bio: Pushing the boundaries of this ancient medium since 1984, Suzanne Punch has brought fine art sensibility to the interaction of dyes and resist on silk, opening new possibilities of painterly expression. Her work has been exhibited in the United States, England, and Japan in gallery, museum and private settings. 

Suzanne's commercial work has included prototypes and production for Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Theory, Blue Man Group and the NYC Ballet through DyeNamix Studio in Manhattan. She has taught workshops in 7 states across the country and Canada, including annually at the Mendocino Art Center. Suzanne is also a faculty member of the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

In 2009, Suzanne was given the lifetime designation of Master Silk Painter by Silk Painters International.
