Working on a domestic sewing machine, with carefully chosen pieces of cloth and endless colours of thread, Rachel will translate the gardens and plants here at Waterperry into her beautiful machine-embroidered textile art pieces.
The most distinctive aspect of her embroideries is the expressive skies, evoking perpetual movement and fluidity, the restless elements on their never-ending journey. She creates the essence of both place and time with attention to detail being given in both the foreground and scenic backdrop throughout the seasons.
Meet Rachel in the gallery and watch her whilst she paints in stitch and brings her work to life.
