43. Creating Space for Little Creatures with Beth Hoyes

Next up in the artists featured in my new book, The Art of Embroidery Design, Beth Hoyes, an artist and art therapist from the UK whose work centers around nature, exploring themes of animal symbolism, folklore and interconnectivity. 

Beth discusses her journey from dabbling in embroidery to making it the cornerstone of her art practice, the meditative process behind her creations, and how her background as an art therapist influences her work. The discussion also touches on balancing artistic passion with parenting, infusing folklore into artwork, and how moving countries, and the changing studio spaces that accompany these moves, has impacted her work and her process.
