Silk Sensations

Silk Sensations by Debra Kaplan

Debra Kaplan, founder of Silk Sensations, has been handcrafting vibrant, hand-painted silk art for over 23 years. Now working from her studio in Maui, Hawaii, she brings a unique blend of artistic expression and soulful detail to every piece she creates. With a Master’s in Business Administration from Keller Graduate School of International Management and a background as a registered nurse, Debra blends precision, passion, and compassion into her work.

Her journey into silk painting began as a personal exploration of creativity—one that blossomed into a full-time business and lifelong pursuit. What started as a way to stay close to home with her children has grown into an internationally loved brand. Each silk piece is full of expressive color variations, movement, and personality—no two are ever alike. Debra’s designs speak to those who appreciate authenticity, elegance, and the beauty of handcrafted work.

Whether gifted or worn, her silks are timeless pieces of wearable art meant to uplift, inspire, and celebrate individuality.
