Textile Artist
Nature is the inspiration for my art and adding stitches to my work gives me time to reflect and intentionally slow down.
About Me
My Artist Statement
Understanding that her passion for handwork and crafts was drawn from her grandmother, today Elizabeth Richards uses these skills in the creation of her textile art. Her art quilts, filled with texture and color, reflect her love of nature and the environment through surface design techniques including fabric dyeing, eco printing, cyanotype, and hand and machine stitching.
My Inspiration—Nature
I strive to meditate, relax, and enjoy my creative process with mindfulness.
