About Doshi

The Artist

Doshi aspires to “coax the festivity out of the ordinary.”
Internationally renowned for textile dyeing, artwork, and wearable art designs, Doshi spent thirty years as a costume designer for artistic and athletic events, including theater, dance, ice-skating, stunt shows, and television. In 1998, she started a line of wearable art and began exhibiting in galleries throughout the United States.
Always fascinated with nature, in 2020 Doshi turned to printing on fabric with plant leaves and flowers. She combines an exploration of shaped resist dyeing and eco-printing with a striking color palette to create work that pulsates with energy.

About Doshi

The colors, textures and patterns in the fabulous and revealing world of resist dyed fabrics and botanical printing express my meditations of my journey in this life. Exploring botanical printing, I became engrossed in the nature of leaves and plants. Watching this eternal dance of seasons and celebrating nature’s ever changing rhythms.
As I explore new possibilities in my work as an artist, I have found an essential expression of my spirit. The soft edges, shapes and shadows left in the fabric; the colors that resonate with the essence of the life experience; the textures that reflect the dynamism and sensuality of life’s richness; all create dynamic, graceful and evocative statements that inspire me to create personal and expressive textiles.
I have been honored to create solo exhibitions and take part in juried and invitational shows. My fiber work has been seen at the Mingei International Museum and Visions Art Museum in San Diego, The Brewhouse Arts Center in England, Palos Verdes Art Center, The International Shibori Symposium in Oaxaca, and Convergence.
I was further honored to teach Costume Design at CSULB for 38 years, supervising a graduate MFA program.
