Exhibition information

I am a trained textile designer who now works through the medium of freemotion embroidery.  I produce embroidered landscape works, capturing the seasons in the countryside by colour and metallic threads. I am especially inspired by the sunlight through the trees, whether it be in Autumn with many coppers and bronzes, Winter with Silvers and Ice, or Spring and summer with pink and golden shades.

For this exhibition I was keen to study the light at various times of the year in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside that surrounds us here in Ewelme.

Each piece is built up with layers of thread and this enables the shades to blend together.  I change my thread like one would change their paint, but the individual colours remain vibrant and strong.  The metallics catch the light once the piece is framed and on the wall, creating another dimension to the work.
