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.
