About

Color is Orna Willis’ greatest fascination. Design and architecture have always intrigued Orna and her use of geometric shapes is what she brings from that love. Her work is meant to bring pleasure, first to the senses, then to the mind. When the senses are stimulated, the mind will work all the better. Her art is her story, told with a needle and hand dyed fibers. The dance of Middle Eastern color with the structure of mathematics fascinate Orna. She paints with her needle and tells the tale of tradition, history, and origin in a contemporary way.
