100% Cotton, 42"-44" Valley View by Hollis Kitchen is a stunning watercolor mountain-inspired group. The colorful palette is nice to add a pop of color to your home space. Use the mountain panel for a wall hanging in a guestroom. The textural patterns are perfect for pairing together in a monochromatic quilt. Make tote bags and a quilted jacket to match as well. Whether you are creating projects for home or apparel, Valley View will add a touch of color. Hollis is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Alaska. While she primarily works with watercolor, she also dabbles in oil painting, graphic design, digital surface design, and ceramics. She studied art at the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau, Alaska which she now calls home with her husband and son. For her watercolor is the perfect medium to interpret the land and sky. The flow of the paint, the way the brushstrokes dissolve into each other, and the way the pigment settles into the peaks and valleys of the paper mimics the spontaneity of nature. "Our surroundings help to shape us, and the uncertainty and spontaneity of the Alaskan landscape and weather informs my body of work. The way light streams through trees, fog and mist fascinates me. The interaction of plate tectonics and how it creates vastly different environments across the state of Alaska is awe inspiring to me. As an artist interpreting these familiar natural structures, flora, fauna, and constantly changing weather patterns into a painting requires a balance of control and chaos."
