Completely hand-stitched...

Curious about the artwork we're using for our "Minnesota Made" fundraiser? It's truly Minnesota-made - by a Jerome Fellowship-winning textile artist from St. Paul named Andrea McCormack. Andrea's work is inspired by nature. "When I take a walk, I look up, down...and find the interconnectedness of nature and our bodies." The original, hand-embroidered leaf that adorns our event artwork resembles a  human hand, and represents that connection. Andrea tells us that the repetitive motions of needlework create the same brainwaves that result from meditation.
