BARBARA LEE SMITH

Barbara Lee Smith has brought surface design and machine embroidery to a new artistic level by fusing layer upon layer of synthetic fabric and using the stitch as a drawing tool. Her surfaces are rich with color, metallic threads and fabrics, stitched drawings, prints and various textures. The organic shapes and elusive colors build to become a complex and intriguing environment that can be contemplated at great length. Her love of color and luminous materials is evident in all of her work. Barbara has taught, exhibited and lectured nationally and internationally.
