Thank @hewittgill for taking these photos showing our current exhibition #extremelytextiles #blackswanarts The exhibition showing work by 9 textile artists which includes my latest drawing ‘A Couple on the Tube’, is showing until 22nd December. Fab private view on Friday and thank you to @sandraporterstudio for inviting me to show. #d#textileart #freemachineembroidery #drawingwiththread #londontube #portraiture #stitchedportrait

For weeks I have been trying to decide how to approach my next drawing. In the last few months before my dad died I asked if I could take a photograph of him - and this is it traced and ready to stitch on dissolvable fabric. The image is packed full of emotion with stunning blue eyes looking longingly up as his grandsons. I am nervous about starting because I have nowhere to hide - this must portrait the person that we love and miss. #freemachineembroidery #stitch #portraiture #stitchedportrait #dad #seamcollective #drawingwiththread

I promise to start my next piece of work very soon - a lovely, but emotional drawing of my incredibly brave dad who faced cancer with immense strength and dignity. Forever in our hearts. Love you and miss you dad.
