Southern California-based artist Cassandra Dias has the incredible ability to transform colored threads into gorgeous embroideries of natural landscapes in an impressionistic style. Her artwork is inspired by peaceful places that capture the essence of the memories that remind her of home.
For me, embroidery is therapeutic. It goes deeper than simply just drawing fiber through fabric. The process of stitching is a lesson in mindfulness, which also provides a means of channeling my memories and emotions and allows their expression through layers of color. My completed works are tangible translations of my own feelings of nostalgia, places that remind me of home, and places I’ve traveled to and sometimes feel “homesick” for. And perhaps, by creating these landscape pieces, the viewers of my art will also be reminded of their own happy times in similar scenes.
