Ivene Webb's Wearable Art

You might say Chattanooga resident Ivene Webb wears her art on her sleeve. Webb has been a painter for four decades, but she isn’t your typical oil-on-canvas artist. She got her start doing oil paintings back in 1971, but today Webb is best known for her “wearable art,” which includes ladies’ shirts and bib overalls.

“I paint with fabric dyes. They look much like oil paintings, but they are softer and they wash well,” Webb says. “I do a lot of farm and country scenes, like cows in a pasture or a little tractor in a field. I also like to paint bridges, houses and lots of flowers. Today I’m doing irises on shirts.”

How Ivene Webb Got Her Start in Art

Before devoting herself to creating wearable art, Webb spent 27 years working as an inspector at Chattanooga’s DuPont plant. Her coworkers nicknamed her Cricket, and she signs her painted shirts by that name.

“I started at DuPont when I was 18, and they said I hopped around like a Cricket,” Webb says with a laugh. “Now they could call me Turtle.”

While working at DuPont, the plant manager commissioned Webb to paint an old barn that was on the property before DuPont. And the rest, as they say, is history.

“That’s how people began to realize I was an artist,” she says. “I hung my oil paintings at DuPont, and people bought them. Then I retired early and started painting on clothes.”

Soon Webb was teaching classes so other people could learn to paint on clothes, and she built up quite an inventory of clothing.

“I started selling the clothes at art shows in the Nashville area and later at the National Cornbread Festival,” Webb says. “My bib overalls used to sell like crazy – I would paint on one leg and the bib and something coming out of the back pocket. Now I mostly sell the shirts.”

Webb still paints 12 to 15 oil paintings each year, many of which are commissioned. “I’ve done snow scenes and made them into Christmas cards,” she says. “I stay busy. I’m not a TV person, and I don’t even have a computer. But my next goal is to make a website.”

Nativity Sets

Webb also creates nativity figurines of Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and the wise men.

“I make them with Styrofoam cones, porcelain heads and little clothes,” she says. “Then I dip them in starch, let them dry, paint them and sell them at shows.”

The complete set of nativity figurines sells for $300 and is popular with churches. Webb’s oil paintings range from $150 to $500, and her painted shirts sell for around $55 plus tax. It’s not uncommon for customers to visit her at shows wearing shirts they purchased several years earlier.

“They stay bright and don’t fade, especially if you wash them in Dreft detergent like baby clothes,” Webb says. “I’ll have people wear them five years later and tell me it still looks great.”

  4. Delores J. Chambers says:

    Loved your article. The shirts look absolutely beautiful. I too love to paint on different things. Never have tried cloth. My dad died in 1979 and in 2003, I lost my mom. Right before my mom passed away, my husband was taking down an old chimney from the home place. After mom died, I took a bunch of the old bricks, which were probably 100 years old or more (mom was 94), home with me. The thing that I am most proud of is the paintings I did on the bricks and gave to my four sisters, nieces, nehews andmy children. I still have not painted myself one but have one brick set aside.

  24. Gail Powers-Blanton says:

    These shirts are absolutley beautiful. They remind me very much of Fall and make me ready to wear my fall clothes! What a wonderful way for Ms.Webb to share her talent with people!

  25. Patsye Thurmon says:

    I am the director of Farm Day in Anderson County, and I would love to have one of Ivene’s shirts. The XL would be about two sizes too large for me, but maybe I could use it as a jacket. What I would love to have is a shirt with a cotton boll on it. Maybe I need to get one commissioned like that!

  26. Marlana Ward says:

    I would love to win one of Ivene Webb’s shirts. The examples in the magazine are beautiful!

  27. Marlana Ward says:

    I liked you on Facebook and signed up for the newsletter.

  28. Janet Price says:

    At a time when people are confused, anxious, and looking for something hopeful and comforting, a wearable art shirt is just the ticket. It provides distraction from problems and adds a touch of hope for those who wear, and see, them…a reminder of a simpler life! There are so many items out there that seem to be a real representation of artful skill, but, in truth, don’t offer real artwork. I would be proud to wear one of Ivene’s products.

  29. Victoria Green says:

    Beautiful artwork. If you no longer live in Tn, this sure would remind you of home and the good ole days we all miss

  30. Marian Blackwell says:

    Your shirts are the nices ones I have every seen. It would be a pleasure to wear one.
    And when asked where i got it, I would say from a very talented lady.
    Who maked the most beautyful clothe and things I have ever seen
    Keep up the good work.

  31. Glenda M. O'Dell says:

    I think Crickets painting is very nice. When we work at Dupont I was raising my children, unable to afford to purchase any thing extra. I would be interested in one of her shirts. I also enjoy reading each issue of “Tennessee Home and Farm”. Glenda

  32. Kathy Moore says:

    I love the Farm & Home magazine and always try a recipe or two from each issue. I’m planning to try the Cornbread Dressing out of this last issue. Ivene’s shirts look adorable. I used to embroider on denim shirts and reading this article brought back memories of those shirts I used to wear. I also love flowers, but birds run a close second. Your paintings are beautiful!

  33. Melinda Bowlin says:

    Love the paitnted shirts.

  34. Mary Nichols says:

    You are very talented.

  35. Helen Jones says:

    Must be wonderful to have such a great talent! I can’t even draw a good “stick” person.I enjoyed reading your article.

  36. Glenda Curtis says:

    I love your painted shirts! I have done limited painting on clothing and it is harder than anybody thinks. You have a wonderful sense of color and style. I hope I win one of your shirts.

  37. Linda Karen Draeger says:

    I love to oil paint but have very little talent. Ivene Webb is very talented and I would be honored to wear one of her shirts!

  38. Dianne Seat says:

    The shirts are gorgeous! Such a talented woman is Ivene Webb!

  39. Darlene Wilson says:

    I dabble a little in wood painting. Not very good, but I like it. I once painted my mother’s home that she was, borned and grew up in, on a church pew, which included the old barn. You do a great job. The painting on page 19 reminds me of a Thomas Kincaid scene. It amazes me at the many different scenes that God puts in our path daily to enjoy. And sad to say so many times we miss some because we don’t realize the importance that might be behind it, the history and the people that are connected with the scene. I carry a camera with me all the time, just to capture the history, cause it may not be there the next time we pass by. Praying God will keep blessing you and your art.

  40. Martha Marcella Shipley says:

    I know what a great artist Cricket is because I paint with her. I have some of her shirts, and everytime I wear them I am asked where I got them. She puts a lot of detail work into her paintings. Everything she paints is beautiful.

  41. Carol Bell says:

    You have a real talent. Enjoyed your story.

  42. Nancy Ann Stephenson says:

    would love to have one of these shirts with the wonderful paintings. the artwork is so beautiful and different.

  43. Kathy Tilley says:

    I love your art work. Several years ago, when I was a stay at home Mom, I painted sweatshirts for my children and myself. This has made me want to try it again.
    I’m encouraged by retirees who stay active….and especially those who find new careers!
    You are truly blessed with a wonderful talent. God bless.

  44. Elaine Martin says:

    Wonderful work!

  45. TJ Hatfield says:

    Recently I discovered Ivene Webb as I read an article about her in Tennessee Home & Farm magazine (Fall 2011). What an extremely talented artist! She brings the beauty of every-day life in the country to life for all to appreciate in paintings as well as clothing. I think her talent is right up there with Thomas Kincaid. Ivene, keep up the good work!

  46. Scarlet Middaugh says:

    Your work is amazing! I would love to have your talent and be able to do what you are doing. I lost my factory job in 2008, it would be so awesome to work for myself and make some money.

  47. Betty K. Martin says:

    Your art work is beautiful and I hope you continue sharing your talent with the world for many years to come.

    The fact that you worked for DuPont, Chattanooga, also caught my eye. My Dad worked for DuPont, Old Hickory, TN plant for almost 40 years before retirement and I attended DuPont Elem School and graduated from DuPont High School in Old Hickory, TN.

  48. JoAnn Frasier says:

    Mrs. W ebb is certainly a very talented lady. The fact that she is from Chattanooga caught my eye as that is my birthplace and where I spent my teen years.

  49. Joan Zimmerman says:

    I too use to enjoy painting and loved buying other artist products, but since then have had to give up for health reasons. I some day hope to be able to go back to painting just for the pure enjoyment and relaxation of it. From what I have seen of Webbs work she is very talented and wish her all the best in what ever she does.

  50. Betty P Smith says:

    I love this type of art and to wear it on a shirt would be wonderful.

  51. Robin Norwood says:

    I love denim and you have took denim over the top with your beautiful painting!! It is absolutely the most awesome i have ever seen. I love paintings of long ago things and this is just beautiful! You are one talented lady and i truly love all this painting you have done. And to put it on fabric like you have–Amazing!! All i can say again is -absolutely beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent with everyone and may god bless and keep you always!

  52. Judy Smathers says:

    Love the wearable art! It would be an honor to receive one of Ivene Webb’s decorative shirts.

  53. Pat Dunlap says:

    Love the artwork and talent!

  54. Willie Jean Gibson says:

    I think your paintings are very beautiful. I wish I had kept up my lessons when I was younger. I started to learn how when I was about 60 years old and I am now 78 years old and run after my 3 year old great grandson.

  55. Ann Smith says:

    Would love to enter but I am only a size 8 so I would swim in the shirt if I were to win.

  56. Cindy Duncan says:

    I love the type of paintings she does reminds me of the farm my grandparents had when I was young. I would love to win the shirt and wear it to remind me of the times when my parents were young. The one with the house in the magazine reminds me of the show Little House on the Prairie.

  57. Jean says:

    I liked this article and enjoyed reading about Ivene Webb. Hope to see similar stories in your magazine.

  58. Georgianna Phillips says:

    Your an amazing artist, if I had half your talent, I’d be happy. Such detail and passion in what you do, never stop!!! It made my heart smile. I’m a school bus driver here in Spring City, Tennessee and a sub teacher and I would proudly wear any of your art~ I was wondering do you do special paintings for bus drivers or teachers?
    I would love to see those and I’m sure all my coworkers would too. God Bless you, and I hope to get to one of your shows, I would love to see your nativity figures too.
    Best regards.

    Georgianna

I think your products would sell fast. Your work is beautiful!

  70. Jeanette Valliere says:

    The photos of Ms. Webb’s designs in the magazine are gorgeous, and I’m sure they don’t do them justice! I admire anyone who can paint, and it’s amazing what she can do on fabric. I most definitely would proudly wear any of her designs.

    I have always been a crafter but I have always wanted to paint. It’s just not in me. I do however know good work when I see it . Ivene, I love your work and I am so jealous (in a good way )of the way you can twrill that brush around. Painting on shirts is like having your own walking art show all the time. When people see your work, I know they smile !

  82. LuAnne says:

    I would love to win one of Ivene’s shirts. They are beautiful. I’m especially in love with the one with the barn.

  84. evelyn Hoskins says:

    I love anything crafty and sure do admire anyone who can paint. at one time i used to do the sequins glued on sweatshirts and have done sweatshirs with the teddy bears appliqued on the fronts of sweatshirts and flowers etc. , things done on the sewing machine, but have no talent for any kind of painting.

    great article loved reading about Ivene beautiful artwork

  150. Mary Jackson says:

    I love the idea of having a shirt with a barn painted on it. The article was great and you have to be one talented lady. I always enjoy reading all the Home & Farm stories. I also really liked the idea Delores had of painting on the bricks from her parents’ home. How neat! I have bricks from my old grade school and hope to get a couple from the old church where I attended as a child–Promise City, Iowa. Don’t know how well I would do, but would be willing to give painting a try!
    God Bless You!

  159. Selene Barron says:

    I used to paint on shirts and different things when my children were small. Also, I painted with oil on canvas and that was so relaxing. Not many things are fun any more since my daughter, her husband and 2 small sons were killed in a tornado in 2006. Knowing that they are waiting for me in Heaven keeps me going. Some day I will be with them again. Loved your article and shirt. God bless.

    Selene Barron

  160. Donna McDaniel says:

    I am a painter also and have painted carpet, doors, murals on walls and all kinds of things. I would love to be able to paint on clothes for my family! It would be awesome to win this and have the inspiration I need to begin! I am also an avid fan of the old barns around Tennessee and have a multitude of pictures of them.

  161. Marcia Fowler says:

    I simply love your artwork! I have tried some painting but cannot relax doing it…I do better with any needle and any thread as my craft…and I love to make quilts…

  165. Anita Lance says:

    I grew up in the country and I’m still there. Old barns have always fascinated me and are one of my favorite things to take pictures of. The shirts are gorgeous and showcase Ms. Webb’s wonderful God-given talent. I would be thrilled to win one of her creations!

  166. Brenda Massey says:

    Ms. Webb’s paintings are beautiful! I have horses and would love wearing the shirt with the barns painted on it. I have always wanted to paint but have absolutely no talent!

  167. Linda Beckham says:

    Your work is so talented. I would love to win a shirt and tell everyone who asks who the artist is and that I won it. I like doing watercolor on ginwashi rice paper and have done tole painting and one stroke ages ago. I still like the tole painting look. Thanks again for the chance of such beautiful work on fabric.

  168. Yvette Baggett says:

I always feel special when I own or wear a piece of art that is like no one else’s. Thank you for sharing your talent with others.

  171. Emma Worley says:

I love to wear denim shirts and a handpainted one would be a treat. Your work is exceptional and I am looking forward to seeing your work at a festival soon. Hope you have some coming up. Did you paint the yellow one you have on ?
    Take care and keep up the good work.

    I’m happy to say that I am the proud owner of several of Cricket’s garments and two of her paintings on canvas. She has an extraordinary sense of color and everything she designs is beautiful. I know that everytime she picks up a brush something great is about to happen. She has so much natural talent that she makes the work seem effortless.She truly makes the design appear life like.
    I am so excited for her to finally be recognized for her wonderful work and that it will be seen by so many people.
    I have always been in awe of her wonderful God given talent.
    Best wishes and love to you my friend,
    Lily

  184. julie cutshaw says:

    I just got my issue by mail and LOVED this post when I saw it and just had to look up the url to her giveaway. Beautiful work to say the least. I have followed Donna Dewberry’s work for years thinking she is the best, but I have to say I think Mrs Webb has her topped. Now I have to see if I can find her web site so I can view more of her scenes, I love the chicken with wire in your Home & Farm issue about her work. I lokk forward to the H&F issues I recieve, it’s just like getting a fresh breeze of country air through the open window to enjoy. Thanks ~Julie

  187. Patricia Farley says:

    Beautiful paintings and really creactive.

  188. Roberta Lessner says:

    Ivene – I hope you get a website up so people can view your art to buy – I would love to buy a shirt from you – I just started back doing oil paintings – no formal training – just doing my own thing. I live in Kodak (outside of Knoxville) and would love to take a class from you if you do those anymore – I will take your number and maybe I could by myself a shirt for Christmas. Thank you – Roberta

    like that.

  197. Joyce Wheaton says:

    Awesome looking shirts

  198. Keisha Lawyer says:

    Ivene is not only an amazing artist, but she is an amazing lady with a big heart! She has been painting clothes for me since I was first born 20 years ago! She has painted baby onesies, shirts, tank tops, overalls, sweatshirts, capri pants, jackets, and denim shirts! You name it and she can paint it! I am very blessed to have an aunt like her! Now I am married and she painted a canvas painting for me and my husband that has our name on a mailbox to hang in our house and we have a set of her wisemen and people go crazy over them! I can’t say enough about how beautiful they are! We get so many compliments on all the things she makes, everybody just loves it! Now she is starting all over with onesies again for my precious little girl! She spoils her rotten with beautiful painted clothes! She is a fantastic artist not just because she is my aunt! She blows people out of the water with her talent!
    ~Much Love,
    Keisha, Travis, and Miley Lawyer

    Ivene’s work is not only beautiful but straight from her heart. Never has there been a more giving and caring person than Ivene. Thank you so much for sharing her and her work with so many people. So many beautiful gifts have been worn by our family members and friends. The article is great but only shows a small portion of what she has been gifted to do. I have worn things that people have wanted to buy off my back. At one craft show, she tried to get me to change into another outfit so a fellow could buy the dress i was wearing. She has a great sense of humor and I’m blessed to have such a wonderful sister.

    Love you Ivene,
    Carolyn

  218. Debbie Randalls says:

    Hello,
    Ii would find it an honor to recieve one of your shirts. My mother used to do something similar to that, before she fell ill a few months ago. She passed recently and when I saw your shirts in the Home and Farm magazine, I almost cried.
    Thank you for your consideration,
    Debbie Randalls

  219. Ann says:

    These shirta are beautiful,

  220. Sharon Arnold says:

    I met “Cricket” Ivene Webb almost 20 years ago at a craft show at Bersheba Springs, she had some amazing pieces of which i loved them all. My first purchase was a denim jumper with a white picket fence around the bottom beautiful sun flowers and some beetles. As a matter of fact i wore it out and requested she paint me another one a few year back. i think i have a piece of just about everything she has painted. I love wearing her clothes because chances are you will not ever find someone else wearing the same thing. i always have many complimants each time i wear some of her art work. We have kept in touch over the years , i count it a Blessing to have her as a friend, she is a wonderful Christian Lady and her husband Jimmy is a fine fellow as well. Blessings, Peace, Love and Happiness to them would be my prayer.

  221. Rhonda Koehn says:

  229. Pamela Haddad says:

    I can’t wait for the Ivene “Webbsite” to be up and running. Have purchased hand-painted clothing items from her which are very beautifully done. One of my most precious possessions tho is a nativity set she created out of my nearly 100 year old Maw Maw’s old bedspread and flannel shirt fabric. The way she painted and adorned them are glorious and knowing what she used to make them keeps my dear Maw Maw close to my heart. Cricket is hopping with true Tennessee talent!

They are just as pretty now as when I first got them. I also have the Wisemen and all the other seasonal paintings she has done. The clothes wash and iron real well and hold their color just like new.

    She is a gifted artist with many talents and I am glad to be her friend. Her work is absolutely beautiful.

    Love you. Charlene Gibbs.

  256. Linda Smith says:

    I am an owner of several of Crickets beautiful shirts. But I would still love to win one to add to my collection. She is a great artist, and truly gifted. She makes it all seem so easy. The best thing I can say about Cricket is that she is just as beautiful a person as the paintings she creates. I feel it an honor just to be a friend of such a tallented an honorable individual. She is so deserving of such a great article. I do love the Tennessee Home and Farm magazine. I can’t wait to receive ours in the mail, you stay informed about your own state. And find so many great things to do in your own area.

    Ivene is truly a great artist but first a wonderful friend. I had the opportunity to live in
    Chattanooga for seven years and Ivene and I became wonderful friends and I moved back to FL in 2002 and we remain friends and call each other often. I also took some of the painting classes and wise men classes with her help, would not attempt to do this by myself. I really miss her. TN, is a beautiful state loved it. A friend
    like Ivene is one in a million.

  259. Pamela McFarland says:

    your art work caught my eye. it brought back memories how I used to embroidery on denim. at the age of 15. your work is the best I have ever seen. great talent. I would be the happiest person to wear your art work every where I go.

  260. John C Matthews says:

    My wife,Susan, and I celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary on the 15th of September and I will celebrate 63 years of life on the 28th of September. Noticing your print of the mail box and because I work for the Postal service, I’d like to place my name in the drawing in hopes of winning the shirt for my wife. Sure it would be after-the-fact but she would cherish it and wear it proudly. We will be in Pigeon Forge from Sept. 25 to Oct. 2nd. Maybe should we win, a special trip would be in the making to meet you. Your work is a real treasure of country scenes. We love them. Sincerely, John Matthews

  261. "Ping" Vanderburg says:

    I’m not one of those that seem to win everything they enter and I don’t expect to win this but I did want to give my two cents worth….do you have any idea how blessed you are? You are so talented. You just can’t beat what you use as your canvases or subjects. I’ve always lived in the country and my favorite thing to take pictures of when I get a chance to do any traveling is old barns. I’m afraid that by the time my grandchildren are grown there won’t be any left standing.

    Sincerely,
    Your Next Door Neighbor (I’m from North Carolina)

I would love to have a picture of the barn my mom and dad had but it is no longer there. When I saw your picture of the shirt with the barn on it and the grass so green and beautiful i just had to visit your site. It looks simply beautiful.
    Thanks so much for sharing your work.

    Cricket, My friend and I met you at a Christmas Craft Event. We both loved your work and purchased some of your beautiful painted outfits. I though I had lost contact with you until I read the article in Tennesse Farm and Home. So glad you are still painting and hope you get your website ready soon. Looking forward to making contact with you for a purchaseof one of your items.

    You don’t happen to have an email addres for Ivene do you? I have one of her original paitings from 1972 “a scene from the peanuts by charles schultz” that was given to me in the late 90’s by a friend and I never even thought about tracking down the artist until I read this article. Would love to talk with her to get some history behind this painting.

    Thanks,

    Chuck
