New York Metro Silk Painters is a Chapter of Silk Painters International (SPIN), an organization of silk artists, painters, practitioners and educators, whose mission is to promote worldwide recognition of silk art.
Our Chapter is a group of artists in the New York Metro area who create art on silk and desire to share our journey with others working in the same medium. We meet quarterly to learn different techniques, visit museums or galleries, encourage one another, collaborate and plan exciting future exploits. Located in the heart of the art and fashion world, we welcome members from the region who would like to join us.
Our group has many experienced silk artists, some of whom have been painting on silk for more than thirty years and some who have more recently begun to explore this art form. Several members bring experience from the fashion industry, have degrees in fine art and graphic art and are currently teaching. All are creating beautiful artwork, some of which you can see on this site.
In the bios, there is a link to each artist’s website where you can see more of their work.
