A thread painting of a female monarch butterfly, Latin name danaus plexippus. Thread painting embroidery, also known as needle painting or silk shading, is a needlework embroidery technique that creates designs that look like paintings using thread.

AS Galbraith is a contemplative artist working primarily in hand embroidery, but also has worked with watercolor, acrylic inks and acrylics. He is also a Zen Buddhist monk, (dharma name: Ven. Myohye Do'an) and besides creating art, he is the guiding teacher for Lotus Heart Zen. The purchase here help support his ability to create art and teach. His work explores myth and the natural world. The process of making art, regardless of the medium, is a spiritual practice, and contemplative discipline. Please note that the paintings in the gallery are professional digital scans. The depth and range of colors are limited to the capability of the monitor that the image is being viewed on. Keep in mind that most colors tend to appear less saturated...
