Accessories – Raleigh

My name is Kim. I am an artist, specializing in hand-dyed silk fabrics. It\'s a blast to make patterns using all sorts of found objects... from kitchen gadgets, tin cans, to car gears!! Each creation is unique. I received a BFA in Surface Design from East Carolina School of Art. I\'ve had a very diverse working career…from two of the top worldwide upholstery design companies to a top video game developer. I work on my fabric out of my home studio in Raleigh, North Carolina. I mainly create scarves, but have recently been delving into creating some simple-designed clothing. Additionally, it was an honor to have been selected to be part of Redress Raleigh 2012 this past April, where I created a whole clothing collection from my fabrics. It was the first time I\'ve ever done that kind of thing, and it has really given me a whole new level of inspiration and creativity.
