Cosmic Sky 2020-2021 Triptych 9 x 5 Feet

“Ethereal, peaceful, calm, serene are the words most often spoken to describe my art. I gravitate toward soft colors and focus on blending to tell a story.  The feeling of quiet and void of chaos is my intention when I create each piece of art”

Lay’Na Anderson** is a contemporary abstract and fiber artist known for her signature of soft palettes and unexpected textural elements. Her work explores the delicate interplay of —whether through seamless blending or deliberate removal—creating compositions that range from tranquil, muted hues to vibrant pieces infused with glitter. Each piece is a meditation on stillness, inviting the viewer into a space that is both serene and free from chaos. Her work is often described as ethereal, peaceful, and joyous, capturing the essence of softness and the beauty of artistic transformation.

In her latest collection, Lay’Na reimagines the traditional art of knitting and crochet, exploring how these time-honored crafts can be seen in a new, artistic light. Using hand-dyed t-shirt yarn and macramé cord, she transforms familiar stitches and patterns into a visual language that challenges conventional expectations. By playing with texture, structure, and color harmony, she invites viewers to reconsider fiber arts as both tactile and visual storytelling mediums.
