My larger scale macro nature embroideries are part of my wider art practice exploring the rhythms, echos and interconnectivity in nature.  I am inspired by immersive nature experiences,holding a magnifying glass up to nature and marveling at it in a child-like way.  I am driven by connecting more closely to nature and find embroidery lends itself so beautifully to the tactile-ness and representation of all of the layers that are not always visible to the naked eye.  My main inspirations for these larger scale embroideries at the moment are bird, butterfly and moth wings.  I am often immersed in the process of bringing attention to all the details and beauty in nature.
