"Art is from the soul," says fiber artist Lori Monson. "I strive to put that soul and emotion on textile surfaces, which I hope transcends to a visual delight and art to wear."

Each jacket, vest, scarf and dress is a one-of-a-kind piece; hand-sewn and handpainted using an array of dyeing techniques, including discharging, immersion, screen printing, stamping, and the Japanese art of shibori.

"Vivid spectrums of color appeal to our senses, refuel us and make us sigh with joy," Lori says. "We can enjoy the moment, adorn ourselves. The spirit soars, and we are radiant."
