About her new book:
‘Like many other creative projects that emerged throughout Covid, my partner and I began walking the neighbourhood seeing what insects we could find in our five mile radius.
We began finding butterflies and when butterflies were thin on the ground (or in the air!) we spotted other insects on plants to photograph. These photographs are the inspiration for the cross-stitched artworks in Cross-Stitching Beautiful Bees, Bugs and Butterflies.’
