In the Thames estuary, water and land come close to merging. Drainage ditches for the fields produce dark wells which are almost black, and at the end of summer this one was in stark contrast to the bleached grasses around it. For inspiration I like to seek in nature textures which I can reproduce in thread, and the spindly grass plus smooth, black mirror surface of the water inspired me immediately.

The inspiration

About the artist

I am a journalist and embroiderer, telling stories of the natural world in thread. In my day job as a news reporter for The Times, I travel a lot and see the ways humans live in our world. The places I see transfer into inspiration for my embroidery.

Shipping

Postage is free. As we’re handling fragile artworks, we carefully wrap all pieces and only use a signed service for all of our shipping.

The Art Post premise is simple

The Art Post is a wax-sealed miniature art gallery right to your doorstep. We're curating and showcasing masterpieces by up and coming artists on postcards. You can either subscribe to our new Emerging Artists edition, or our Sheffield artists edition (where we've been testing the concept!)

You can collect the postcards, frame them (they're printed on high quality card) and of course, send them to friends and family to say a simple thank you or tick all your birthday cards off for the year with a card that can be treasured for life.
‍
"I didn't know I needed it, but I'm so glad I found it." - That's a quote from lovely Sal, one of the Art Post's first very first testers.
