Gloria Torrice



"I approach my work with the philosophy of action painting - the expression of color and line translated onto fabric. My lifetime involvement in the use of color as language has been my personal milieu as well as in my profession as a color stylist. I like to think of my work as an abstract painting translated into wearable art, incorporating the ideas of chance and accident."

"I explore the excitement of color using my devore burnout technique of procien dyes on pure silk and velvet. The vibrant luster of silk or velvet causes the colors to shimmer when they catch the light."
