Item Description

Mixed media

20" x 24" x 14"

Lesley Makris, a.k.a. Dizzy Lizard Designs, believes that all of the objects we use and encounter in daily life have the potential to be beautiful, meaningful, and enjoyable. Her work spans many mediums and styles. She takes great pleasure in using her skills to combine seemingly disparate elements to create something exciting, unexpected and fun!

The commercial fabric was the inspiration for this piece. The artist interested in the interplay of subdued neutrals, bright purple, chartreuse and red within the fabric. For upholstered pieces, Makris often starts by creating a patchwork, but this fabric already contained a palette that intrigued her.
