Mary Hertert
As owner of Color Creek-Fiber Art, I have spent the years since first opening in 1997 mastering the art of dyeing textiles through teaching and sharing all that I could with those who walked through my door.
As an open working studio, Color Creek afforded me the opportunity to give to others the gift of creativity. With my new space – small by past standards; it’s time for me to concentrate on my own art exploration and the opportunity to explore the same avenues I’ve opened to others.
What draws me is the juxtaposition of art and function and how beautiful work can also serve a purpose. Clothing, interior design and fabric as architectural elements are all avenues I want to explore. As with everything – it is a bittersweet change. I will sorely miss all those who have come through my doors as students, peers and mentors. That said – I can still be reached.
