Art to Adorn Body, Home
Rocky Mountain Bank in Stevensville, MT. hosted an artist reception on First Friday for Lisa Archer Silks.
Stevensville, MT, May 24, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Lisa Archer, was the featured artist at Rocky Mountain Bank in Stevensville, MT.
Featured at the bank are hand painted-silk wall hangings and some framed works of art.
Her medium is silk and colors are her passion. "Colors have such an emotional effect on us, she said. "As an artist I have become more aware {that} nature offers us beauty in the simplest form. I find painting on silk brings together an ancient fiber with a modern twist."
Her silks are one of a kind works of art to adorn the body or the home. Her "Montana Feathers" scarves have a river rock painterly look, recalling a walk along the Bitterroot River, where beautiful stones at the bottom of the river were visible in all their glacial colors.
"At that moment, I happened to see feathers floating atop of the water," she said, I immediately put brush onto silk, recreating this beautiful experience."
Her feather scarf designs are unique, with no two alike.
Her skilled work also includes wedding canopies. In the days of the Talmud, the wedding ceremony formally ended when the bride and groom retired to the wedding chamber called the Chupah. Over time, the canopy under which the bride and groom were married symbolically represented the Chupah, or original wedding chamber. Today it has become the symbol of the loving home the couple is establishing together.
Lisa Archer Silks recreates the artistry of the ancient Chupah that not only adds to the warmth of that moment when the marriage vows are exchanged, but helps preserve that memory when it becomes and exquisite wall hanging, and object d' art framed under glass, or as the center-piece of a bed canopy, gracing the new home of the bridal couple.
