Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey
has taken the ancient art of Chinese
silk painting and made it her own. She
calls it the jazz of painting, a blend
of color and form rendered with liveliness
and a practiced knowledge of her medium,
which she first observed on a visit
to Hawaii, and now renders with French
dyes and silks from all over the world.
Going To The Sun 2008 was Cawdrey's largest silk
painting to date, and was painted to celebrate the 75th
Anniversary of Glacier National Park's Going To The Sun
Road.
Her whimsical panorama celebrates every iconic
rare flower or shy animal the traveler in a historic Red Jammer might encounter on George Grinnell's Crown of the
Continent. |
