Batiks by Abby

Growing up in Breckenridge, Colorado with Abby Paffrath we spent much of our childhood together outside enjoying nature. She always had an amazing creative streak that I am so glad to say she has developed into an awe inspiring knack for making beautiful batik artwork. I have an original of hers that I enjoy every single day! These days living in NYC this piece of artwork a great reminder for me of who I am and where I came from. It's easy to forget these things in our daily grind of life and I'm so thankful that we have art and artists like Abby who help bring us back to remember what really is important in life.

 Abby has always been inspired by the outdoors in her lifelong quest through the arts. She has a Fine Arts education from University of Montana, but her real love of the dyed batik began when she enrolled in a cultural arts program in Bali, Indonesia. Batik is a wax resist dye technique used to create images and patterns on fabric; it is traditionally used in ceremonies and rituals by the Balinese peoples. Abby now resides in Jackson Hole Wyoming where she is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Teton Mountain Range.
