ISABEL BECKER – ‘Fabric Play Arts’
Isabel Anchin Becker of Sarasota, Florida developed this form of fabric use for pictures after many years of sewing clothing and quilting and then reading a cloth children’s book to her grandchildren. She uses fabric, thread and a sewing machine with some commercial fabrics and more recently, she converts her photographs into the fabric which she uses. The pictures are framed to hang.
Mrs. Becker is a member of Arts Advocates, a member of the board of directors of Glasser Schoenbaum Human Services Center and the Sarasota Ballet and Friends of the Sarasota Ballet. Recently she designed and remodeled the Anchin chapel at Aviva for Senior Living. Since making and providing over 100 masks during thePandemic she has expanded her sewn products to “mini” pillows which can be seen here under Contemporary Images.
Fabric Play Arts is a collection of one of a kind fabric pictures which become an exhibit. Themes change according to what inspires the artist…recent travel, fabric, just an idea, nature, requests from clients.
