Artist Teresa Lim literally has a world of inspiration before her. While traveling across the globe, the creative adds to her Sew Wanderlust series by embroidering the landscapes that have become a visual part of her memories. From cityscapes filled with eye-catching architecture to lush, natural environments, Lim manages to capture each and every detail in a flourish of thread and color. Since she doesn't rely on photographs when she's embroidering, the artist must sit before her scenic muse and be present in the moment. At its core, Lim's project combines the cultured aspect of travel with the beauty of embroidery. Moving forward with creativity, I aspire to one day be able to pass on my knowledge of my own design approaches to others, whether through teaching or giving talks to embroidery guilds.

World renowned artist Olek spends her life looping endless yards of yarn, spinning the world around her into intricate crochet art and larger than life public creations. Born and raised in Poland, the slightly eccentric (yet wonderfully talented) artist moved to New York to pursue a degree in cultural studies, which is where she discovered her passion for crochet. She has since exhibited collections around the world, known for her unique style of “crochet graffiti” art (also known as “yarn bombing”). Seeing no need to separate life from art, Olek can typically be found “in her Brooklyn studio with a bottle of spiced Polish vodka aggressively re-weaving the world as she sees fit.” A range of drawing skills and a commitment to drawing as a tool for communication and investigation

As someone who notices colour, the transitions our ocean corals have gone through due to coral bleaching has been an issue I have delved into and hoped to create more awareness on. In collaboration with fashion designer Olya Glagoleva, artist Lisa Smirnova transformed a collection of clothes into a series of art. Spending a maximum of 100 hours on every garment, Smirnova hand-embroidered bursts of color onto the fabric, telling a story with her work. This project, called Artist At Home, aimed to converge two worlds: the painter's home and her studio, or her closet and her artwork. By working together, both Glagoleva and Smirnova demonstrate that art doesn't have to be stationary, that it can indeed be worn on-the-go. Additionally, the artist takes an Impressionistic approach with her brilliant hoop art. Each colorful strand works in unison with one another, like paint off the wispy hairs of a brushstroke.

Gloucestershire, England-based artist Debbie Smyth blurs the line between illustration and embroidery, two-dimensional and three-dimensional work, and fine art and textile creations with her charming “pin and thread” drawings. Smyth first plots out each artwork before meticulously filling in the space with masses of thread, forming elegantly expressive, linear depictions of everyday objects, animals, figures, and architecture. “I feel as if I am taking thread out of its comfort zone, presenting it on monumental scale, and creating an eye-catching, and in some cases jaw-dropping, effect,” the artist says.Pioneer? Thank you, I am flattered, but I rather see myself as disruptive artist. I love challenging the way things are done and asking how things could be…what if…. I hate the idea that there is only one way to do something, especially when talking about creative subjective disciplines. I like to be excited and see things that make me stop and ask…how have you done that? David Morrish mile 15 close up David Morrish, Windermere Am I Still Beautiful?
