Inspirations...
Foliage inspires a verdant path for embroidery. Plant sketches nurture stitched patterns of lush foliage, and botanical specimens are reinvented as delicate appliqué sheers.

Fashion drawings play with the free spirit of plants. Foliage and fashion intertwine to realize directions for embroidery designs.

The ethereal beauty of a Cornish garden inspires a translucent silk organza panel, decorated with botanical appliqué. Swirling leaves appear in delicate, spray-dyed shades, accented with embroidery.

Embroidery celebrates green, indulging in a frenzy of stitched textures. A wild corner of a garden resurfaces as a finely crafted lace; Free-machine embroidery is as versatile as a paint brush in expressing the nuances of green.
