Watch Cheryl’s imagination run free unravelling nature’s secrets & relevance in the form of figurative detailed embroidered wall art & tailored art to wear. Cheryl’s skill & training in fine art is the foundation of her language of tactile freehand machine embroidery which brings the hands of the maker into her art. Using only her hands & eyes to guide unmarked canvas under the needle of a sewing machine to bring images to life. (Not computerised designs or photos copied). Labour-intensive technique, immediate and spontaneous as millions of stitches & 100‘s of hours creates each artwork with no room for error. Over 50 new wall art, couture quality art to wear, sketchbooks and you can watch Cheryl create her magic at each opening in a venue drenched in history like no other in Adelaide.
