Yvonne Warren • Fabric Art |
|
Yvonne Warren’s interest in fashion started at an early age. She loves mixing various kinds of old and new media to create wearable art using scraps of fabrics, threads, tee-shirts, remnants, paints, and beads. Yvonne mixes and matches fabrics, textures, and color in all her pieces, putting fibers and colors together to create unique pieces perfect for the modern bohemian woman. Yvonne is a big supporter of non-profit creative re-use organizations whose main mission is to recycle and keep materials and fabrics out of the already crowded land fill. Everything she designs is one of a kind and eco conscious. Her fiber art mixes her love of her heritage and obsession with ethnic fabrics and gems. She has her own art studio shop, Jewels & Fiber, in Sacramento where she teaches a variety of mixed media classes, a trendy art and craft studio where women can come to relax and feed their need for creative self-expression. |

In 1969 a massive oil spill off the coast of southern California inspired the first annual Earth Day on April 22, 1970. Today Earth Day is recognized as the launch of the environmental movement and observed in nearly 200 countries around the world....[Read more] |
