Mixed Media Hand-Embroidery by ErrantHart on Etsy

Anna delivered a beautiful and moving piece. She perfectly captured the proportions, texture, and expression of the dog. Her threadwork and painting were both expertly done. She's got a great eye for detail and included textural nuances that add a lot to the overall picture. It's great art.

Anna worked patiently with me through much email back and forth as I am new to this process and wanted to be sure I was getting something worth the price and time. She was dependable and professional in communication, which is especially appreciated at holiday time. She provided status update pictures that helped me to visualize the final result. When I had a couple modifications I wanted to have made after the piece was delivered, she graciously accepted and modified it.

I highly recommended her!

Hi there, thanks for visiting my shop! My name is Anna Hart Turner and I have a confession to make. I love that feeling you get when you’re so excited about something that you can no longer communicate with words but rather a series of incomprehensible exclamations and wild hand gestures.
That’s how I feel when I’m creating, and that’s why I decided to open my Etsy shop Errant Hart.
As you might have noticed, Hart is my middle name, and errant means to stray from the regular/proper course or to journey adventurously. I thought this was a perfect adjective for my artistic practice. With each new project comes a creative adventure.
Most of these adventures take place at my living room table in Queens, with my gray tabby cat, Rodarte, lying next to me supervising, amidst a smattering of embroidery floss and fabric paints.
My ideas usually come to me from train/bike (depending on the weather) commute daydreams, performing weird art experiments, or staring at something (pipe cleaners, beads, forks…you name it) for long enough. While the haters say, “everything’s been done”, I say –“but has it been done like this?” I think there are infinite ways of combining what’s “been done” to create something unique.
Mixing unexpected materials and techniques never ceases to inspire me. After studying and working in fashion, I gravitate towards fabrics and threads/yarns- basically anything tactile. I also love anything paint-y, ever since taking painting classes as a kid and opting for watercolors over markers during fashion illustration.
I hope that from my studio to your wall, we can continue this errant adventure together! I love doing custom work and collaborating with people to make something special, so please don’t hesitate to contact me with your rad ideas!

So beautiful! Great communication and fast shipping. We thought we'd just put it up during the winter but we quickly changed our minds and plan to keep it up year round!

This piece of custom art is absolutely incredible! Anna took the reference photo and created an extremely dimensional and detailed piece that blew me away. The level of detail and mix of medias are so captivating and unique. The photos don't do this piece justice!

Absolutely amazing work!! We bought a dog portrait for our friend whose dog passed away recently and she was extremely touched and blown away by how closely the portrait resembled her dog. Thank you so much for that, Anna! We can’t wait to get some more portraits of our own!

I ordered a custom portrait of our three cats for my girlfriend's birthday. Anna was wonderful to work with and created a perfect likeness of each one. She was also very on top of the timing since this was a birthday present! The work is beautiful and the new style hoop looks really polished. Can't thank her enough!
