Summer’s Embrace

A mixed-media textile work that celebrates the warmth and abundance of sunflowers in bloom, where golden flowers rendered in silk ribbon rise boldly from a softly painted fabric background. Richly textured centers and sculpted petals bring each blossom to life, while layers of dimensional green leaves create a lush garden bed below. Warm touches of yellow, orange, deep brown, and earthy green add depth and tonal variation throughout the flowers and foliage, while layered fibers along the ground enhance the natural texture of the scene. The result is a piece that feels warm, joyful, and full of life, capturing the cheerful beauty and welcoming presence of sunflowers in the garden.
