Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival 2023

I’ve got summer plans and wanted to let you know what’s coming up!   There are two events that I have been busy getting ready for and I’m excited that I will have some new pieces to show. I recently got back from Carmel, where there is an endless amount of artistic inspiration. I was able to wander and soak in the scenery at Point Lobos, and along the coast of Carmel and Monterey. So, that means gorgeous ocean textile art is on the horizon! So exciting, right? Meanwhile…here are some details for the summer shows. Here is a sneak...

Lori Wallace of Good Day Sacramento stopped by recently for an interview with me, so I thought that I would share it with you here.   I’m honored that they came by and it was fun to share a bit of my work with Good Day viewers.     

As I am working on this new piece, I am excited about the direction that it is going.  I’ve placed the photo over it to show where it is going and that I am extending it beyond the photo.    And without the photo, this is what I’ve got so far.  I was able to hand dye the sky, and I’ll just add more detail for the sun. I’m hoping to get a good shimmer of sunshine on the water.   I love the challenge of trying to replicate the photo with fabric and so far, I love the direction...

After returning from another trip to the coast, I have begun a piece that I am excited about.  This was from a recent trip, that my husband and I took for the purpose of taking pictures for Art pieces. This one makes me smile, because he doesn’t particularly enjoy the beach. He goes because I love it. And I love him for that!   I was able to dye the sky fabric today and am happy with it so far. Next, I’ll be adding the water.  To see more of my work,  check out Cynthiaminoli.com.       

Just wanted to share a little of the progress pictures in the making of my latest Textile art.  I decided to work from a photograph that I took at Martin’s Beach in Half Moon Bay.    It was such a joy working on this piece!  So many ideas running through my head for another ocean scene. Although, I think that my next piece will be one of Upper Falls at Yosemite.  Until then, Cynthia   You can see more of my textile art here.
