Flora as Fashion: Victoria Wordsworth

"Flora as Fashion: Victoria Wordsworth" 2019

This lovely Trumpet gown was photographed on location in front of the historic Smoke House in Burbank, CA. Like the Mermaid gown, it is form-fitting through the torso and hips and gradually opens out into a floor length flare. The rose bush blends nicely into Victoria's flower patterned frock.

This image, as well as 32 other embroidered portraits, will be on view in my upcoming exhibition "Home as Hat - Flora as Fashion" at MuzeuMM Gallery June 1 -22nd. The opening is next Saturday, June 1st from 7-11pm.

Flora as Fashion: Emil Edinger

"Flora as Fashion: Emil Edinger" 2019

I was inspired to stitch an accessory for Double EE and Bad Business front man Emil Edinger using the linear lines of the cactus close by. I decided I wanted to accentuate his hat, coat, jeans and boots with a component that reflected their outdoor vibe. By selecting natural tones in the embroidery floss to echo wood, straw or wheat, this backpack evolved into a type of Native American burden basket.

I am delighted with the final outcome of this piece, since it deviates from the other images in this series by accentuating an accessory. This image, along with 32 other embroidered photographs will be exhibited at Muszeumm Gallery from June 1 -22nd. It will be a culmination of 4 years worth of work!

I hope you can join me for the opening on Saturday, June 1st from 7-9pm.

Flora as Fashion: Pamela Hobbs

"Flora as Fashion: Pamela Hobbs" 2019

While many of my embroidered portraits are intricate and heavily stitched, this portrait of the elegant and incredibly talented Digital Matte Artist Pamela Hobbs called for a more subdued and simple stitching to compliment the intense patterns in the Op art print in her dress.

The embroidery floss is actually an ice blue. The subtlty in color and application I felt was just the right tough to this image. Although understated, I was trying to emulate a cross between a Tudor ruff and bone jewelry.

This print, along with 32 other images will be on view at Muzeumm Gallery from June 1st - June 22nd. The opening night is on June 1st from 7-9pm.
