ArtistKatrin Vatesevokes the lushness of the great outdoors through embroidery.
Her meticulously detailed landscapes depict tall trees and hidden houses via tiny stitches.
Vates became interested in embroidery as a way to decorate things in her home.
Her work is now on canvas fabric.
To begin, she embroiders a thing that has inspired her.
Perhaps its a tree, a house, or even a bush.
Gradually, a landscape appears around it.
I very seldom do sketches, she admits.
In most cases, I prefer spontaneity in the work process.
Such technique allows me to bring more realism into my embroidery.
