I had fun at Kilshaw's auction house last night.
I was interested in one lot - 2 thread paintings.
I came home very pleased to have won the lot for $17.50.
They are signed by Anne-Marie Matte-Desrosiers (born 1905) from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec who won awards for her work and exhibited in expositions in New York and Montreal.
And hung for many years in the "Snug" at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, Victoria.
They are very skillfully worked and fine examples of the technique.
Click the above link in the title 'Thread Painting' if you are interested in more details about this artist and more examples of her work.

What treasures and how great they have found an appreciative new home! The lack of interested other bidders shows a want of education about fibre art and undervaluing of it.
i agree, Yvonne
WOW!!! You picked that up for the same price as two ppl eating out at Mcdonalds!?!
Good for you!! Knowledge and taste goes a long way!
If youre interested in another piece from her let know!
