Betty Burian Kirk

Fibers have an inherent tactile quality which I explore through my wearable accessories. I like to emphasize color in my works of art.

My Mission

My goal is to design and create lovely and unique wearable art for the woman who appreciates high fashion.

About the Artist

I studied art and art education at Northern Illinois University. After receiving my bachelors degree, I went back and received a MA Ed in art education with a strong emphasis in fiber doing a one woman show in fiber. I taught art in an elementary school for 12 years and later taught 3 semesters of weaving at Joliet Junior College. Being trained as a teacher I enjoy giving lectures and workshops in fibers and fiber related areas. I started out as a weaver, but my knowledge and skills encompass spinning, felting, kumi himo, tassel making and marbling as well as the areas of color theory and design. I am an Illinois Artisan and exhibit my work at art shows throughout the area.
