Reclining on a background of vibrant patterns bursting from the canvas, Carla Kranendonk's 'Seated Woman in White Dress' is a mesmerising combination of vivid brushwork, glittering treasures and expressions of femininity. Kit and Willow Kemp celebrate the work of this talented mixed media artist in this video from 'The Firmdale Art Collection'.

"What's so clever about this piece is the layering. She embellishes the painting with bead work with stitch work around here. And she really understands textiles and patterns and the repeat." Willow Kemp
