Jo's Web Wizardry
Hello, my name is Jo Atherton and I have recently taken on the role as the HVA Online Media Consultant.
Artist on File: Tessa Barnes - Applied Artist & Painter
Tessa Barnes creates beautiful designs on silk; painting and fashioning patterns on scarves, umbrellas, jewellery, sarongs and cards. She takes inspiration from nature or uses curving abstract designs. ‘One of the fascinations of working with silk is that the painting is semi-translucent and can move, which means that the colours are seen through other colours and shapes drift and change. Silk painting has many moods.’
