Self-taught Massachusetts-based artist Carolina Torres creates vivid landscapes using a needle and thread.
“I grew up in Colombia and from an early age I got interested in handcrafts,” Carolina explains on her website. “My mom is a fashion designer and I have always been inspired by her job. The magical work she makes with her hands motivated me to start creating. Ever since, I have been making handmade products using different techniques in sewing, knitting and textile design.”
Carolina uses her art to capture the beauty of nature, from bold sunrises and flower fields to mountainscapes, forests, oceans and lakes.
