Chelsea Border

Artist Statement

Jo hand embroiders intricately stitched floral artworks featuring meadows and garden scenes from her studio in Somerset.

Using her own impressionistic style of embroidery, Jo’s love of flowers radiates from how she captures them in her art.

Jo combines her watercolour painted backgrounds with layers of threads and ribbons to add texture and create depth to her embroideries.

Her aim is for the observer to see the flowers first, then on closer inspection to discover the stitches.

Jo is inspired by the gardens and flowers at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and exhibits her work there.
