Lelde will welcome visitors to her stunning light-filled home studio, garden and ‘home as gallery’ where all stages of her work will be displayed as part of the interior home decor. In a sense, her domestic interior is her canvas. Nature is her obsession.
Lelde is fascinated by the extent to which people employ images of nature in domestic interiors. She uses photography, drawing. painting and printing to capture images of fragments of nature. Sometimes these fragments are used to create patterns for textiles. The designs are digitally printed on various fabric types. Sometimes she hand prints textiles for curtains and other furnishings. Some fabrics are used in lamp shades and wall hangings or kept as fabric lengths.
