Tea for One I Painting

Emily Veldman invites viewers to discover an imaginary world through her artwork. Her world is filled with furry characters and flower friends in their homes and landscapes which incorporate layers of patterns and textiles. Veldman is influenced by the arts and crafts movement and uses textiles and soft mediums such as felt, yarn, embroidery, construction paper, buttons, and craft paint. Her work is nostalgic for childhood and shows the playfulness and whimsy often found in children’s illustration.
