PK Fairaday is the nom de plume of my artistic whims and fancies. I have degrees in fashion design and art, have designed women's fashion, owned my own children's wear label, Vanilla Drips, and now I've returned to my roots in textile arts. Painting silk is mesmerizing and calming, and I've learned to embrace the imperfections and unexpected turns the dyes tend to take as part of the uniqueness and beauty of the art.
