Whooping Crane Italian Silk Scarf

A 2019 New York Times article on global avian decline inspired me to paint a series of endangered birds to raise awareness about their vulnerability. The element and leggy Whooping Crane was an easy choice to kick off this series of paintings. There are several vulnerable and endangered crane species. To learn more, visit savingcranes.org.

A scarf designed to last, the first thing you will pack for a trip and the final thing you will put on before stepping out. A scarf that is soft and smooth and won’t snare your earrings. A scarf to be passed from one generation to the next. My mother Jessica taught me that scarves were the best fashion hacks and inspired the creation of these pieces. I still have four treasured scarves of my mother’s. Her beloved Hermes scarf is framed and hangs in my daughter’s bedroom.  This blue and gold silk scarf can give you an instant shot of color, lifts the face, and adds miles to a simple wardrobe.

100% pure silk, printed in Italy. Highest grade silk charmeuse is used for vibrancy of color. Hem is hand-rolled and hand-stitched in the United States.
