Sara Smedley: Tricolor perfection

Tuesday, December 13

My Dutch Heart tea towel made it into this beautiful Etsy Treasury, curated by Haruka Sasaki. I love the folk art inspired assemblage of red, blue, and green!

Sara Smedley: I am an artist who until recently dabbled in textile design. For quite a while I designed and printed linen aprons and tea towels with graphic designs. One of those even ended up in the Smithsonian's gift shop and catalog! My tag line was "art you can wipe your hands on." Now I make graphic hand-cut collages with images pulled out of vintage magazines and books. My materials may have changed (please don't wipe your hands on my art any more) but I am still inspired by the same design sources. Oh, I also have a B.F.A. in Painting from Pratt Institute, so I do have a license to make art for arts sake. All original images © Sara Smedley 2018
