Original hand-stitched embroidery art
My designs are inspired by the gently-rolling hills and beaches of East Lothian in Scotland. Each work looks like a painting, giving the viewer a surprise when they look closely and find that it is embroidered.
At exhibitions, I mount my artworks at eye-level and often find people standing close-up to the frames to take in the intricacy of the stitched detail. Sometimes the same person will return to my work several times to see that it really is all hand-embroidered!
Please read my blog and take a look at my online shop. If you are looking for some lovely gifts, my favourite designs are printed by a local Scottish company onto coasters, cards and notebooks. These are for sale in my shop, at Beech and Birch in Gifford and in other East Lothian outlets.
I also collect gorgeous fabrics and make them into hand-made shopping bags and storage baskets sold on Etsy.
My original artworks are on sale at exhibitions and at Coast Art Gallery in Dunbar. Also you can buy my work directly or commission your very own embroidery artwork. Please contact me for more information.
I am a writer for www.TextileArtist.org and occasionally teach embroidery at places like the Poldrate Arts and Craft Centre in Haddington and other locations in East Lothian.
