Tallit Prayer Shawl Sets by Israelcraft - Handmade Prayer Shawls
Description
She came to Israel in 1975 where she met her husband who plays French horn in the Haifa Symphony Orchestra. They have three boys in their twenties.
Marilyn has always been involved in art: theatre, sculpture, applique, pottery, stained glass, silk painting, and mosaic work. In 1990 she gave her first exhibition of textile works in Netanya, Israel.
Silk acts as a unique backdrop for color, imitating natural forms, and bringing pleasure to the eye due to the earthlike, rhythmic, soothing quality the silk brings to the painting. The silk is stretched on a frame; the gold outlines are drawn with resists which stop the paint flow, and the painting is done with brushes and sponges. When the work is finished it is removed from the screen and steamed to fix the paints.
