ALTHEA PEREGRINE
Althea is a silk painter and assemblage artist , whose work speaks to me not only because of its beauty and fine workmanship but because of its spiritual themes. Her work celebrates the ancient goddesses, Ghandi and Chagall and incorporates elements from ancient architecture and prehistoric pictographs among other influences. Her palette is soft with blues and earth colors and touches of gold and bronze. Her work transports the viewer to a time when the dream was reality and reality as we know it now, but a dream.
She has two stores at ETSY: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5065267 where you will find silk hangings, scarves and assemblage, and http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5610886, where you will find jewelry, cards, aceos and silk purses.
