Peony with Magenta Bright Blue Painting

Fine art print based on original embroidered painting from the Mexican Blanket collection. These prints were created to highlight the texture and three-dimensional quality of my original embroidered paintings. The white border and visible brass tacks give the feeling of a tangible original work of art on the wall. I started making these paintings because I wanted to create immersive color. I wanted to take the hues I love and blow them up to see as much uninterrupted color in one place as I could. To frame and enhance them in a way that wouldn’t complicate the view with more paint, I started adding embroidery. I loved that I was connecting back to myself as a crafter, getting to use my hands and work directly with materials.
