About the artist
Crisanne Lamark Tellin received formal training in drawing, painting and art history at Carnegie Mellon University and The University of Chicago. With her degree in fine arts and an inclination for the ‘drier’ mediums of pencil, charcoal and pastel, she has created a body of work that includes still lifes, figure drawings and countless sketches from nature.
Her preoccupation with the diversity and beauty of nature is expressed by a personal artistic style that is succinct, orderly and abstract. The sketches are the inspiration and foundation for her needlework designs.
Tellin Emblem was born with her express desire to produce needleart patterns that are artful, yet utilize the simplest of embroidery stitches: cross stitch. She hopes you will enjoy the stitching, and take pride in the result!
Crisanne Lamark Tellin resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
