Applique wall hanging, 'Hillside and Jungle'

Nestled within the comfort of the Andean valleys lies a small hamlet bursting with life and color with humans, flora, and fauna living in respectful harmony. María Ramos Sánchez offers a vivid representation of her homeland as she takes care to include a wide variety of local animals as well as the exuberant fauna with acute detail. To create these intriguing patchworks, the artisan sews together strips of burlap, creating scenes based on her own vivid memories. The animal and human figures are stuffed with cotton and integrated into the work over a cotton and synthetic background - evoking a distinctive sense of depth and inviting texture. Makes an intriguing addition to any collection of art.

Maria Ramos Sanchez

Born in the southern Andes region of Peru in 1959, Maria Ramos Sánchez is a specialist in the creation of beautiful Andean shams, an art which she learned at the age of eight. Her pillow shams are made of cloth fragments that have been hand-sewn together. Ramos enjoys using a variety of bright, cheerful colors to give her art life and energy. She is particularly inspired by Andean landscapes and loves to depict her native picturesque Peruvian highlands. She also creates vests, pillowcases, wall hangings, and purses using this same technique. Ramos is a member of the Arpillera-makers community featured in the photojournalistic volume In Her Hands: Craftswomen Changing the World. The book chronicles the journey of Paola Gianturco and Toby Tuttle, who meet with and share the lives of craftswomen around the world - those women who create art to strengthen their cultures and improve their lives, and the lives of generations who follow.
