NO WALKING CANVAS LIMITED

ABOUT NO WALKING CANVAS LIMITED

Carole Waller is a painter who specialises in painting with dye directly onto cloth for the purpose of making completely unique painted silk clothing – art to wear (called Wearable Art in the US). She has perfected the art of painting directly onto silk, making a wearable and washable painting with incredible richness of mark and colour.

You can also commission bespoke outfits for special occasions in discussion with Carole.

Her silk clothes are contemporary, stylish and timeless. The label is ‘I’m no walking Canvas’.

Carole began to make wearable art in 1986 – having trained in painting at Canterbury College of Art and for an MA at Cranbrook Academy of Art near Detroit. Her work is featured in many books on contemporary textiles and is found in museums such as the V&A , private collections and contemporary galleries internationally. Awards include a major Research and Development Award from Arts Council England in 2005 and a QEST scholarship in 2007 for glass studies. Carole became a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Painters and Stainers in 2011.

Clothing can be commissioned for special occasions, purchased through her website, found in London and New York, and at her gallery near Bath.

She has been commissioned to make paintings for residential and public spaces – and also has extensive experience working with teams of consultants, architects, interior designers and other artists on collaborative large scale projects.
