Art that explores motherhood, the female form and femininity.

Obsessed with sketching these patterns

Over the holidays I’ve been populating a small intimate sketchbook full of patterns and embroidery embellishments into my drawings. I’m letting my subconscious lead me here. I’ve struggled with textiles in the past but I don’t know why these overlapping patterns have just crept into my work and I find these marks so soothing to apply. In the photo above I loved the dizzying and disorienting effect the marks make on the viewer especially with that vivid mustard yellow.
