Fall Forest #8 is inspired by a stand of maple trees that actually glowed with the sunlight streaming through the leaves. I also saw bits of the blue sky and shades of green from evergreen trees. This 5”x7” piece is float mounted on 8”x10” mat board ready to pop in a frame. I used the curved stitching on the bottom to highlight the moving leaves.

Summer Prairie #9 is all about the bright flowers and saturated greens of the grasses at the height of summer. This piece is mounted onto a wide 6” square stretch canvas. This means it can stand on a shelf or desk all by itself. I used sari ribbons, waste product you can buy in bulk, on the top for flowers. Then I used the credit card scrape method over several green paint blobs on the bottom fabric which is a deconstructed American Eagle shirt of my son’s.

Click the link in my profile to learn more •Online sale is active for three days •December 1 to December 3 •In person December 4 and December 5 • At @BrushwoodCenter in Riverwoods, Illinois I’m going to showcase some of my favorite pieces of these three series I created specifically for this Holiday Art Market over the next two weeks leading up to the Holiday Market on December 1. Fall Forest #5 is all about those Fall Days where yellow and orange leaves are swirling around you. This is a stand of trees, some evergreen. The orange colored fabric was an IKEA sheet I painted with orange and yellow. It turned out better than I thought. I swear it actually glows without being too obnoxious. The yellow stitching was a fun addition. I had to stop myself from getting carried away and adding more🤩And of course the blue sky(painted deconstructed discarded jeans). Swipe for photos I took on a hike that inspired this series. . . . . #holidaygifts2021 #abstractart #mixedmediaart #textileartist #abstractcollage #textileartwork #textileartistsofInstagram #creativeprocess #artprocess #creativehabit #abstractlandscapes #fallcolors #fallforest
