About Gayle Sampson

Gayle has been creating some kind of art-related mess since she was a young child, with her first foray into fiber arts being a tie she made for her father out of left over upholstery fabric that was pastel pink silk with embroidered cherries.  After seeing how silly it looked, she thought she might work on her skills. She has a B.A. In Liberal Arts, focusing on Cultural Anthropology, Art History and textiles. Over 20 years ago, she decided to buckle down, and direct her focus from various multi-media projects, to using traditional dying methods such as Shibori, SERTI (resist painting), Low Water Immersion (LWI), and Drip dying. You can see some of her work on www.liveletdyesalon.com.
