Wright’s creative process bridges ancient tradition and modern innovation, treating silk not merely as a surface, but as an active optical partner. While raw silk naturally reflects roughly 86% of solar light, her work purposefully alters this physics. By introducing hand-painted dyes, she injects selective absorption into the fiber's triangular, prism-like matrix, forcing the material to capture specific light frequencies while scattering others. Wright intentionally manipulates these visible wavelengths to tap into universal color psychology, orchestrating how different frequencies alter human mood and perception. Stepping away from a corporate career to immerse herself in mastering this traditionally Far East medium, she has found absolute freedom to balance structured optical science with fluid emotional intuition. Every piece of art Wright creates is a calculated exploration of luminescence, engineered to shift the viewer’s energy and perception through the shimmering, living physics of the fabric.

Wright is known as Grammy to six and loves to travel with her husband Dan, a fellow artist and former syndicated cartoonist. She is currently working on a large scale immersive analogue installation, which you can learn more about here. She also serves on the board of Muncie’s Downtown Development Partnership and is the current president of Muncie Art Student’s League, a social group dedicated to discussing the arts and encouraging Ball State University graduating art students with cash awards.
