Carole Waller handpainted purple silk scarf ‘Subtext’

A silk crepe de chine scarf painted with aubergine, purple, ochres, dusty pinks, lavender, browns, greys, a square of cornflower blue, and old gold.

The scarf is inspired by snippets from  poems, images and colours are multilayered to suggest the complexity and depth of experience.

‘Fill your house with delight’

Carole Waller art to wear:

Each garment and scarf by Carole Waller is unique. I handpaint and screenprint each piece at my studio just outside Bath. I use my fabrics as unprimed ‘canvases’ and the paintings evolve as I work, so no two pieces are the same.

I also make bespoke commissions. Although I cannot colour match,  I can promise you a unique artwork. I welcome visitors anytime, by appointment.

Waller and Wood is our gallery name from the time we had a retail space in Bath between 2015 and 2020. My studio and small showroom is now at our home 4 miles east of Bath on the A4, with good parking and a warm welcome.

The code for this piece is S19
