Passion and art goes hand in hand and when we look at Carol Cassidy's work - it is easy to get lost in transit. A globetrotter, Carol has exhibited in the finest museums such as the Guggenheim in New York but calls Laos her home. A weaver's paradise, Laos became her base in 1989 and singlehandly this dynamic artist changed the face of the textile industry in Vientiane at a time when it was near extinction.
In 1990 she founded Lao Textiles and through hard work and sheer determination, Lao Textiles was awarded the 2001 UNESCO Product Excellence Award.
Until today she continues to advise the UN on development programs, lectures on and teaches weaving, and generously shares her model of weaving success with weavers, artisans and audiences throughout the world.
Now, she is sharing with Malaysia - displaying new work from her Autumn Collection at the Shalini Ganendra Fine Art Private Gallery. Call 03 7958 2175 to view.
