Bio:

Rain Foster received her BFA from The Center for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan in 1973, with a major in Ceramics, and minors in Weaving and Watercolor. As an artist, Rain is inspired by the gifts of Nature: earth, air, fire, water, fabric shards and cast offs, bits of trees and plants, various natural fibers, and discarded detritus. From these materials, Rain conceives and creates sacred “Spirit Dolls.” Each doll is an expression of herself in the context of a specific moment. Some are political statements, some personal. All come from her heart. She also experiments with 2D forms of embroidery and other types of stitching. She believes that stitching is not only a form of creativity, but also meditation. She enjoys the companionship of working with all forms of thread and fiber in group settings, and sharing inspiration and accomplishments.
