Karen Nicol

I studied Art Foundation and then BA(Hons) in
Multidisciplinary Design.
I now make original, framed, freehand machine embroidered and appliquéd pieces, often inspired by a vintage fabric or my photographs and sketches of animals I encounter.
From my studio on the edge of Dartmoor, driven by my desire to combine these images with the texture and warmth of fabric and the stitched line, I learnt to draw with my sewing machine, portraying quirky, magical, playful, gently poignant or humorous creatures.
I always have current work for sale and also enjoy the ever-changing creative challenge of commissions. Visitors to my studio are very welcome, please phone or message.
