Watercolor and Embroidery
Watercolor
I've always had a sharp memory—except when it came to my own childhood.
Somehow, those early years became out of reach.
I discovered watercolors, hoping the dance of water and pigment would bring me different ways to express my creativity. Then a surprise…
Slowly, memories surfaced—the warmth of my childhood visits to the farm, the way the light touched the flowers, the colors of earth and the sky.
Through watercolor, I found a way to capture my connection to nature, making each brushstroke a tribute to the roots that shaped me.
Spotlight
I never thought I would be able to paint using watercolors, even more to represent flowers, leaves, nature.
This was the aftermath of a 6 weeks class learning how to paint an artichoke. I’m still amazed by this journey.
Embroidery is an important part of my life
I learned from my grandmother and my godmother.
I started by making hand towels and then I quit embroidery after my 2nd child was born.
Twenty plus years later, I am back to it.
My pieces are fully covered in colorful threads, some have beads or ceramic buttons I made.
More importantly, I discovered that my work didn’t have to be limited by the size of a strip of fabric in a hand towel.
