Meet the Artist
Casey Newman
fiber Arts
Casey Newman is a botanical print and natural dye artist with a master's degree in forest ecology, which influences her nature-inspired work. She has been using natural dyes and creating leaf-printed work for over a decade and teaches workshops throughout the Pacific Northwest and online. Her work is centered around northwest native plants, and she uses all natural materials, many of which she grows herself.
Materials and tools used include: printing leaves onto fabric using only the natural pigments found within each leaf. The prints show the unique details of the plant and tell a story of season and place. She also uses natural materials to make colorful, permanent dyes for fabric. Her dyed fibers are washable and the colors are permanent.
