Dominie Nash

Dominie, a founding member of New Image Artists, is inspired by the natural world. Her work has subtly and a feeling of spontaneity.  Her textile art feels to me like a poem written in response to an observed moment in nature. What interest me about the work “Ghost Writing” is the mark marking and drawn quality of the work.
