Summer HartinSummer Hartin is a Newfoundland based artist with a current focus on textile craft, specializing in dye and embroidery. A reoccurring theme in Summer's work is nature, with a lighthearted and considerably colourful style.
Due to her deep-rooted passion in drawing and painting, she is particularly drawn to techniques because of the freedom to create her own colours, and to illustrate her vision with a needle and thread. During her time in the Textile & Apparel Design Program, she has learned skills that will pave the way for a life of artistic journey. |
"My body of work has a message of special respect and admiration towards nature, its timeless beauty, and how it unifies us all in the human experience. The designs are inspired by the beauty in the natural world around us and my concern with issues of climate change. I want to inspire love for that world. My vision is to make pretty things that create content little fantasies when you look at them. Picture yourself foraging flowers in the fall forest with a warm cozy cloak. Isn't that cute? That's my intention. Myself and others feeling delighted for a brief time, with hopes that we all find pleasure in the little moments of material felicity in the physical world around us, is my desire."
