About The Artwork

“Listen to the Tree”, trees are silent guards, they are the listeners and hold knowledge long forgotten. My subject matter is primarily related to the inspiration that I find in the colors, shapes and movement in the natural world in all its forms; my work is about expressing and conveying the feelings of joy, peace, and tranquility that come with the contemplation of Nature. I use a traditional weaving technique while constantly striving to extend my ability to capture nuances of color tone and structure. I work with a vertical tapestry loom together with the highest quality tapestry yarns from Scandinavia. I explore and develop my ideas through the medium of watercolor. When I reach the point where I feel that I am ready to commit to devoting 5-6 months or more to transforming my ideas into a tapestry, the outline of the watercolor design is traced and then digitally enlarged to the full size of the final tapestry. This enlargement provides the map for guiding the hand-weaving process while the watercolor provides the guide for the selection of the yarn colors and tones. During weaving, multiple fine threads of varying thicknesses are blended to achieve the delicate variations in the color tones of the watercolor. The tapestry is fully lined and fitted with a hidden hanging bar for easy installation and is shipped in a custom-made wooden crate.

Ulrika Leander was born and educated in Sweden, a country with a rich tradition of textile art. She wove her first tapestry at age 13 and followed her artistic passion through 5 years of studying textile art and interior design to earn her MA at the HV College of Textile Art and Design in Stockholm. Ulrika finds her inspiration in the colors, forms and movements in the natural world and her work is all about the joy, peace and tranquility that comes with the contemplation of Nature. Ulrika’s tapestries have been widely exhibited in solo and group exhibits and commissioned for private collections, corporate and public buildings in the US and in Scandinavia. Examples include, the US District Court of the District of Columbia Washington, DC, Northrup Grumman Corp.
