Artist Sophie Standing

Sophie's one-off pieces are created by appliqueing an intricate collage of fabric onto the canvas where her image is already sketched out. She draws the details over the top of the fabric with her sewing machine using many different coloured threads. I love the way you can see the patterns through the stitching! Born in England but now based in Kenya, Sophie’s textile embroidered art is inspired by the flora and fauna around her in Africa.
