I stitch and I draw, each practice informing the other.
While my subjects comment on the ordinary, their significance lies in their familiarity. I focus on everyday observations which too often go unnoticed in the bustle of our busy, digital lives.
Driven by a love of color, pattern and texture, Elizabeth Fram’s work incorporates embroidery, painted and drawn imagery, and resist dyeing — sometimes separately, more often in combination. Born and raised on the coast of Maine, she graduated with a degree in Art from Middlebury College. Her early graphic design and illustration experience has had a direct impact her current work.
Fram has exhibited nationally and internationally, including the Rijswijk Textile Biennial in The Netherlands. Her artwork is included in private collections in the US and Europe. It has appeared and been written about in numerous publications, including TextileArt around the World by Ellen Bakker, the Dutch publication Textiel Plus, and in the Surface Design Journal exhibition "From Confrontation to Catharsis, SDA International Exhibition in Print". Since 2014 she has regularly maintained Eye of the Needle, an online journal about her studio practice. She lives and works in Waterbury Center, Vermont.
