Maude Forbid is the owner and operater behind Maude Complex Print Shop, producing out of Taos, New Mexico, USA. Maude Forbid is a relief printmaker, focusing on block printed fabric. Their shop is filled with fabric and paper goods that are hand printed, affordable, and bring a splash of creativity into everyday life. “I especially enjoy making gifts because art, like a good meal, is best when shared with others,” says the printmaker.
Maude Forbid finds an infinite source of inspiration in the natural world and through the challenge of pattern creation. They comment; “I love creating wearable art and hand printed accessories to celebrate the beauty and importance of self expression in daily life”. Their patterns are further inspired by the human experience of our world; their work is silly, cute, bizarre, beautiful, and highly therapeutic.
They tell us; “I truly enjoy the whole ‘made by me just for you’ process, and often print on home sewn and small business made items”. The tools and materials Maude uses are often made by family owned companies and businesses that contribute to and support the printmaking community.
This time of year is layering season in the high desert, and Maude Forbid is busy posting new designs and putting up some cosy and warm scarves.
