#LovingWhereWeLive with @dock5duluth who created a large scale fiber piece called "The Hooded Mergansers". Swipe to see the process. 🧵️⁠⁠Natalija Walbridge is a fiber artist who works in her home studio on Park Point, in Duluth MN. In 2014 she established a business making canvas bags with hand-printed art under the name Dock 5. She has recently returned to her roots as a fine artist to create a series of large-scale fabric appliqués that are inspired by the local ecosystem and the importance of biodiversity. Her exuberant use of color gives the viewer a sense of joy, similar to experiencing the wonder of nature. She is dedicated to her craft which is evident in every stitch of her work. — from Instagram
