Our Stuart, FL Painting with a Twist Artists
Berlin Lahens
Devin
Devin is a fiber artist and painter with a strong interest in material culture. Originally from New England, Devin learned to paint at a young age, and has over 15 years of experience painting. She was attracted to the medium because of the discovery of the unexpected and magical qualities of color. She creates large scale, abstract works that focus on creating “colorscapes”and pointing out the curious interactions between color and texture. Her obsession with color led her to natural dying. She uses plants and insects to create color on fabric. She uses natural pigments and dyes to create work that is centered around nature, color, and healing. She is excited to be working at Painting with a Twist, sharing her love and awe of color with others. She hopes that painting will inspire others to understand themselves and the world around them in new ways.
