I am so pleased to welcome Orna Willis to this Gallery.
Orna's work is simply brilliant! You
will have seen her exquisite designs and kits in your needlepoint
specialty shops. When she was introduced to needlepoint
by a friend in 1995, "I
realized needlepoint was a chance to really explore art and design
in a serious way," Orna said.

Orna's design style intermingles with her cultural heritage, and
together with her talent and passion for color, detail, pattern,
variety of materials, techniques, texture and meaning, the resulting
pieces are a sheer joy!

Orna was born in Israel and lived in
Tel Aviv and the San Francisco Bay Area before moving to Michigan.
From her immaculate studio with sweeping views of a natural landscape,
Orna now creates her spectacular designs, often borrowing the
rich hues and vibrant colors visible from her window. It is here
that along with creating her own art pieces, she also assembles
a wide range of needlepoint design kits which you can see in wonderful
detail on her website.

|
|
It is the diversity of projects that
Orna is developing that makes her 'one of a kind'! Not only does
she create needlepoint art pieces for framed display, but also
free hanging pieces, wearable art like cuffs, collars, necklaces,
bracelets, pins and decorative embellishments on clothing, as
well as wallets, pouches, handbags and even frames.
