Capturing the Heart of American Life and Regionalism

Step into the world of Grant Wood, one of the most prominent artists of American Regionalism and Modern art. Born in 1891 in Iowa, Wood is best known for his iconic painting "American Gothic", which captures the essence of rural America during the Great Depression. His work, filled with social realism and rich details, offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of ordinary people, reflecting the struggles and beauty of rural life in the United States.

Wood’s art is characterized by its clear lines, bold colors, and emotional depth, making it a powerful representation of American life in the early 20th century. His Regionalism style, with its focus on farmers, small-town life, and the Midwestern landscape, reflects a strong sense of place and identity. These powerful themes are translated beautifully into cross-stitch patterns, offering stitchers the chance to bring Wood’s social realism and American values to life through needle and thread.

Our counted cross-stitch patterns based on Wood’s work are available in regular and large print charts, ensuring ease and comfort during the stitching process. Each pattern includes detailed instructions and a floss conversion chart, allowing you to recreate the rich details and textures of Wood’s Regionalist art in your own home.
