Between Stitch & Shadow

These "Painted + Stitched" series pieces begin with acrylic paint and India Ink , then evolve through hand embroidery. Each one started without a plan– the story, the image, the meaning emerged as I work. Brush then needle in dialogue.
 
A 4×4 acrylic painting, layered with hand-stitched embroidery embellishment. Warm earth tones and golden light frame an intimate moment—the interplay of paint, thread, and shadow invites closer looking.
 
Framed to 8×8 with easel back. Display on a shelf or tabletop, or hang on the wall. 
 
Makes a great gift of original art!
