Paintings? Yep. Acrylic and gouache “stitches” meticulously painted onto acetate or canvas. The “embroidery paintings” of Rhode Island based artist Kirstin Lamb are in the spotlight today:

“I began creating these paintings primarily for inclusion in my textile-influenced installations and the practice has grown to include stand alone artworks and works influenced by my studio and installation.  Many of the embroidery paintings I have placed in installations are images of floral wallpaper cropped from French wallpaper of the 17th, 18th and 19th century.  Much of the other paintings in this group were made using vintage embroidery patterns from the 50s, 60s and 70s or generated from my own photography, primarily of landscapes and portraits.” 

… and I love ‘em all! Follow Kirstin on Instagram at @kirstin.lamb. Kirstin’s solo show with Jennifer Terzian Gallery in Litchfield, CT is closing TODAY, so they decided to throw a little gathering! Kirstin will be in the gallery from 10am-6pm, there will be refreshments from 3-6pm provided by Hudson Valley Farm and Foodie, and then a wine and cheese celebration to close out the evening… Go if you can, and if not, watch this little walk-around inside the gallery!

psst… I had Kirstin on my podcast a few years ago… and it was a good one! If you haven’t heard it, or it’s been awhile, YOU CAN LISTEN RIGHT HERE.

Have a great weekend ~ Danielle
