animal portraits and mixed-media
pieces using fabric, thread, paint,
ink, wood and just about anything
else that enhances the image.
When commercially printed
fabrics no longer suited her needs,
Hutchings learned to paint and
dye fabrics, adapting mark-making
techniques typically used on paper.
She also prints her own landscape
and animal photographs on several
types of fabric, then quilts these
images and embellishes them to
bring out the details and give her
work a three-dimensional look.
Her work can be found at
Tempo Gallery in Astoria and
Trail’s End Art Gallery in Gearhart
and occasionally on her website,
wcartisans.com.
