Christine Pellerin becomes juried artist with League of NH Craftsmen in Meredith

MEREDITH — The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, Meredith Fine Craft Gallery recently welcomed newly juried artist Christine Pellerin who brings landscapes to life through her needle-felted Merino wool art. 

The natural world comes alive in an entirely new way through Pellerin’s work with richly layered landscapes that capture the beauty of surrounding nature. Using soft, fine Merino fibers and a slow, deliberate felting process, Pellerin creates textured scenes that invite viewers not only to look, but to feel the depth of the land. 

Each piece blends color, texture, and form to build vistas of rolling hills, quiet forests, dramatic skies, and shifting seasonal light, all sculpted from wool. Through meticulous layering and an aesthetic approach to felting, Pellerin transforms a traditional craft into expressive fine art.

Working primarily with premium Merino wool, known for its exceptional softness and vibrant dye absorption, Pellerin achieves depth and dimensions that are not possible with flat mediums. 

Each artwork is created entirely by hand, with thousands of needle punctures binding fibers into sculptural forms. The result is a tactile surface that evokes the contours of fields, lakes, clouds, and mountains so that the natural world comes alive in an entirely new way.
