Stitches on Paper: Discover Ana Falceta’s Embroidered Mixed-Media Art

The contemporary stitched paper art of Ana Falceta in Waterdown, Ontario is a joyful profusion of vibrant color. She delights in crafting rich, highly textured abstract compositions by layering watercolor, ink, and acrylic gouache on heavy watercolor paper. To elevate each piece further, she often incorporates collaged or woven paper elements alongside an array of hand-embroidered stitches.
