Gardens in the Mist I

Born in Bellingham, Washington, and raised in Independence, Missouri, Aleah Koury is a master of pastel. Layering colors until his drawings glow like paintings, the artist captures the vitality of nature. He intended to major in biology but switched to art after taking a required class in painting. Koury earned a B.A. in ceramics and an MFA in printmaking, and is equally adept working in two and three dimensions.

This finely crafted wall tapestry is made in the USA by skilled artisans, using Jacquard looms and pure cotton yarn. An iron rod and finial are included, in addition to brackets and hardware for easy hanging.
