Current work

Recent paintings on silk by Arvin. Available pieces can be purchased from the shop.

A square silk painting of two dancers in a mountain landscape. A woman in a flowing teal dress and small red cap spreads her arms as sheer patterned scarves swirl around her. A man in a brown vest and wide trousers, with diamond-patterned leg wraps, raises a white scarf above his head. Behind them rise layered green and ochre hills with stone houses; in front, a meadow of pink and yellow flowers. Fine white resist lines outline every shape. — DancersAvailable

A square silk painting of two figures in traditional Lori dress, dancing close together in the wind among gray-green mountains. One wears a long turquoise dress scattered with small white flowers; the other wears a golden robe patterned with paisleys. Coral and green scarves stream from their heads, and a village of small stone houses climbs the hillside behind them. Pale resist lines outline every shape. — Figures in the WindSold

Earlier collections

Scarves & wraps

Arvin’s collections began with scarves. Each one is painted by hand, so the color moves across the fabric in its own way, whether it is worn loose, wrapped or over the hair.
