For over 25 years, the work of textile artist Juanita Girardin has been widely honored and collected for its distinctive style and interpretation. Her handwoven fabrics are well known for their unique graphic imagery & color.
Juanita has exhibited in America's most recognized craft events. She has been honored with awards at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, the Smithsonian Craft Show, the American Craft Expo, the St. Louis Art Fair, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, and other events.
Her most recent textile creations explore the disparate qualities of cloth to create surface texture and pattern. Silk and wool are layered, torn, stitched, pleated, slashed, shrunk or felted to create cloths with folds, puckers, puffs, and textured patterns. Fabrics are then used for garments or accessories.
"I create garments and accessories that are understated in color and classic in form, with fabrics that have a contemporary appeal. I aim for a textile of quiet uniqueness that will compliment a contemporary wardrobe with ease and withstand trends."
Each fabric and garment is made individually in a labor intensive process. Each fabric is made exclusively for an individual garment. No production techniques are used in the creation of these fabrics. All garments are limited edition or one of a kind. |
