Chilean born, Canada-based is one of my favorite working today. Coming from the background of a drawer and painter, her textile art often features a colorful array of bold blooms. Years ago, she began traveling “on a mission to seek out textiles and paintings of other countries,” and during her trips, she started imagining an “endless garden of flowers floating in the water.”
This prompted a theme of floating gardens in her work—one that was perfect for embroidery. “It allowed me to play with textures and bring more life to the flowers,” . “I began to devote the majority of my creative time to stitching hand embroidery pieces and it has proven to be my most fulfilling and well-received body of work to date.”
Katy has released more original hoop art with the same tactile blooms that I fell in love with; she’s also included a portrait and beautiful acrylic painting washes, too. They’re now available in her , in addition to (with video instruction). To see her work in progress, follow her on !
