Meet Renata Ferguson, a talented artist from Arizona known for their unique style of batik, which you can admire right here.
“I was introduced to Batik in Brazil while I was getting my bachelor degree in arts {around 1994). I moved to USA in 1998 and had a hard time finding the dyes in local stores, in college we had no access to reactive dyes. I gave up batik until 2011 when I met the batik artist Katalin Ehling (here in AZ}. Katalin was no longer teaching batik workshops, but she gave me some valuable information including Beth and Jonathan Evans contact. Summer of 2021 I drove from Arizona to La Veta {Colorado, over 650 miles} to meet Beth and Jonathan, after a few days “batiking” with these two wonderful artists and human beings I was in love with batik again!” – Renata Ferguson
