Rocky Mountain Speaks: Art in the Park - The Pattern of Protection: Stewardship Through Stitching

About this event

Help us welcome Rocky's next Artist-in-Residence, Rebecca Shewmaker. Rebecca creates detailed landscape images using sewing and embroidery techniques. Each piece appears to be a traditional landscape painting when viewed from a distance. It is only when viewed closely that the intricate texture of thousands of machine and hand sewn stitches is revealed.
