Gilda says: “The shows look at different aspects of textile art and what inspires the work.”She explains that her family “always had a sewing machine in the house” and by the age of 12 she decided to go to technical college to study wholesale dressmaki“My parents didn’t want me to end up working in a factory,“ Gilda recalls, “but I was obstinate and decided to do what I wanted to do.”At 15, Gilda was making sketches for bridal gowns. She went on to teach fashion, and 14 years ago started doing landscapes using batik, appliqué, plus hand and machine stitching.Gilda Baron“I didn’t go to art school, so I didn’t consider myself to be an artist but people keep telling me my work is good, so I do think of myself as an artist now.”
