Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
Abstract fiber art on stretcher bars like a painting - cotton, thread (woven), embroidery, and acrylic combine to create a multi-layered, highly textured piece. Embroidery, stitching, and painting all in one piece give me a sense of comfort and love that I hope to instill in the viewer. The process is calming - a type of meditation to me - and that calmness is transferred into the piece and then to the viewer. My goal when creating art is to bring peace and love to the work and to the viewer.

Kelly Darke (b. 1973) is a Metro Detroit fiber artist. Darke creates highly textured hand embroidered abstract art using new and recycled material. She is inspired by neuroscience and art therapy. Her work with texture and color evokes a positive visceral response in the viewer. In addition to abstracts, Darke also creates hand embroidered portraits. Prior to working in fibers, Darke created abstract oil paintings with a similar focus on color, texture, and composition. After the birth of her first child, she shifted her creative practice to using fibers, a more accessible and flexible studio practice. Darke uses her art to develop techniques to help others find ways to create calmer, more peaceful lives. She has created and presented countless art therapy experientials that can be used as an active meditation to regulate mood. Darke has written on the therapeutic aspects of art for magazines, an edited book, as well as co-authored a book for art therapy professionals. Creating art and sharing the benefits of art with the community are essential to her work.
