Artist Showcase

Larger pieces of my original textile art are on show at the Biscuit Factory Gallery, here in Newcastle – and this week they have made me the feature artist in their Showcase!

Flag Day

This is one of the new pieces that I took with me to Alnmouth Arts Festival, last weekend – and what a glorious weekend it was! The sun shone and the crowds came. I had a wonderful time talking art to so many lovely people – if you came along, do say hi in the comments! The village gets taken over by artists and residents share their homes as gallery space for the event – so grateful to Penny for letting me and Sheridan share her garage for the weekend!

Just hope I can get back again next year!

Flag Day – original Textile Art by Donna Cheshire

The Flag Iris growing along the coastal path are so beautiful – and their golden yellow glows against the turquoise sea. This piece measures 305 x 305 mm and comes framed in a white box frame measuring 345 x 345mm, unglazed. I have used free motion embroidery and hand dyed fabrics to create this vibrant piece. Hope you like it too!

I am a professional textile artist specializing in Appliqué and Free Motion machine stitching. In order to create a unique colour palette, I hand dye my own fabrics and then use these to create the landscapes and coastal scenes recorded in my sketchbook. I often incorporate recycled or vintage fabrics in my work - they add meaning to the story the work is telling. I love being so close to the Northumbrian coast and countryside and I especially like taking time walk and draw these stunning landscapes
